Recenzii

High-octane adventure accompanies ingenious plotting
The Secret Commonwealthis ablaze with light and life. The writing is exquisite; every sentence sings ... To read Pullman is to experience the world refreshed, aglow, in Technicolour
Lyra is all grown up in a rich, vivid sequel
Engrossing
Pullman's story is still thought-provoking ... This book elegantly weaves in live issues, from Europe's refugee crisis to facts in the post-truth era. And Pullman's prose is rewarding as ever
The novel gallops forward, full of danger, delight and surprise. Nearly miraculous, it seems, is Pullman's ability to sketch character, place and motive in just a few lines
A long, taxing, complex journey, laced with beauty, terror and philosophy
As ever, Pullman's story is complex and vast but home to some of the finest storytelling in the 21st century. Revel in whole new worlds and enjoy one of literature's most wonderful heroines before she comes to HBO and the BBC
Pullman is confronting readers with the horrors of our own world reflected back at us. InThe Secret Commonwealthhe creates a fearful symmetry
Pullman has created a fantasy world, made yet more satisfying in this new volume. This is a book for getting older with
