The last two chapters are sublime.

Yeah, I think they were my favourite part of the trilogy.

You're wondering how Pullman can wrap this up before the end of the book, but then he doesn't. ~*dugong*~!
Q: If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God tell you when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?

'tis probably my favourite book of the three. Favourite part hmm... When they're trying to escape from the kids and they run up the hillside in to the tower. I like that whole passage

favourite line is probably: "Because somewhere, something was screaming."

(or something of the sort) that line always makes me smile :smiley:

If you want to know what makes me sad
Well it's hope, the endurance of faith
A battle that lasts a lifetime
A fight that never ends

Walking in the countryside
It seems that the winds have stopped
Tell my mother I am sorry
And I loved her

Lyra's complete surprise that Dr Malone is a woman. Mary's continual references to the computer as a 'Cave' and Oliver Payne as 'The Skull Man'.

I know! That always happens me with books! They just end

My favorite part is when Mary communicates with Dust on the computer. And when she destroys it and deceives the guard before going into the tent and then through the window.

The last two chapters and the part where Lee Scoresby dies.

Meant to say and specifically the part where Lee dies. Sorry.

When Lee dies is amazing. That anybody would be prepared to give up their life like that is beyond me, though it's also an inspiration. There is so much trust between people, especially in TSK, based on little. All they have is what they see, and they all trust it.

the whole book is amaizing, but the chapter : Over the Hills and Far Away, is my favorite. The part where they first kiss always makes me so emotional each time i read it. :cute: It's almost orgasmic :love:

Did you get as emotionally attached to The Subtle Knife?

No big deal, really.

My favorite part was probably when Lee died as well, though stealing back the alethiometer was pretty good too. :)
