His Dark Materials and Recommendations

Jako8

I am planning on buying, "His Dark Materials" are they worth it?

Also, why do a lot of the books that I become interested in end up having won some kind of children's book award? Not that it matters.

The main thing is though are they worth it.

Also you can recommend other books for me to read too.

I thought they were absolutely fantastic and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. It's been at least eight years since I've read them but I reckon I'd enjoy them just as much now as when I was young.

i was working at a charity book selling.. thing, and my payment was being allowed to rifle through the boxes of books and take whatever i wanted. I had never heard of this series before, but they were brand new and all there so I picked them up and had them finished about 3 days later.

Awesome stuff.

Fantastic books, well worth reading. Every time you read them you will take something new from them. The second and third books in particular are fantastic.

Read them recently and they're very interesting books, and I found the themes quite adult concerning religion!Defo worth the read!

Fav books ever. I have a signed hardback copy!

The first book in the beginning reads like the childrens/young adult book it was meant to be, but hang in there and watch how the big themes develop over the course of the three.

Yep, go for it! They're good books, and what have you got to lose.
I just found them on awesomebooks.co.uk for £1.99 each by the way. Probably the cheapest you'll find them without trawling the charity shops:D.
