Quite a sad story, and bleak. Pullman is a fine writer, and this is a good book, but suffers perhaps from a lack of hope and surfeit of disappointment. To clarify, the main character, Chris, eventually suffers from this, the book itself does not suffer. But it does make it sad to read.
I read this back in May, but I am a bit behind with my reviews so am trying to catch up now. Hence I do not have the immediacy that you might expect!
