Enjoy the book series—His Dark Materials
My three girls and I all love to read.I mean LOVE it! We also like to discuss books we read together.It is always a joy to come across a book or series that engages all of us and ends with long conversations we all learn from.While I do not feel these books are age appropriate for my 8 years old,even with an advanced reading level,it is for my 13 and 17 years olds.After The Golden Compass,they both fought over who would get to read The Subtle Knife first.
Based on some of the reviews,much of this series seems to personally offend anyone who is Christian.It seems like anything that is threatening their beliefs is dangerous and negative.However,I think it is a good thing to have your beliefs challenged; it makes you use your minds,question things,and create thoughts!
I would much rather have my girls read something they didn't agree with and found distasteful than have their right to read what they wanted to de-ny.I am grateful for the freedom they experience in our country and the opportunities they are afforded because of it—opportunities to read something like these books that will make them use their minds,for example!
It comes down to this:If you are someone who likes to read,likes to be entertained,likes to use your imagination,and likes to think for yourself rather than allowing someone else to think for you,you will find value in this series!
