The Subtle Knife His Dark Materials Book 2 Philip Pullman Books

I read all three of these novels. The writer is highly skilled with words and certainly has some interesting ideas. However, his motives for writing these books seemed, to me, quite transparent. I've never liked books with an obvious agenda, and these are no exception. Pullman's apparent mission is to vilify religion in general (with the possible exception of Wicca) and the Christian church in particular. The whole "evil priesthood" scene all over again. Yawn.
The salvation of Pullman's fantasy world lies in a young woman having ... relations with her lover. In other words, in the book's view, eating the apple. This metaphor displays a lamentable lack in understanding as to the true concept of original sin, which concept has nothing to do with sex. It's a common misinterpretation, but an author of Pullman's stature, writing a book series like this one, should know better.
Pullman works hard to give his book a tragic ending, but it left me way short on tears. Not that I can't be moved by the separation of lovers, but one sees this coming for miles and miles, and the reasons for the enforced misery are quite weak.
I very much enjoyed reading the Harry Potter series, both for my daughter and for myself, though it does also have some serious logical weaknesses. Nevertheless, the weaknesses are much less obvious than in The Dark Materials series, and the stories, though rich in moral content, lack the odor of the vendetta so prevalent in Dark Materials.
Unless you like reading books with a bone to pick, give this one a miss. You'll spend your time much more pleasantly elsewhere.

The Subtle Knife His Dark Materials Book 2 Philip Pullman Books Reviews

This Holder is great for watching long YouTube videos at my chair and in my bed. Really well made and strong. Love it
This phone holder is stronger than I expected. I thought it would be slightly flimsy, but it is actually pretty solid. The only thing is with it being so solid, it is a little stiff to move around and get into position. But once in position, it is very reliable and you don't have to worry it or whatever it is holding slipping or falling out. I use it to watch movies while I lay in bed. I used to hold them with my hand, now I can put my hands anywhere I need them. Hehe. But it!
Product is well made. Grips iPhone very securely, and the bendable neck stays where you leave it. I suggest when bending the neck that you hold it by just the neck, not one hand on the base or balljoint. It takes a lot of force to bend the neck...as it should, and the force may be too much for the base or balljoint.
The material is very solid which is great bc it stays in one place and doesnt move but also is a little too solid meaning its tough to move easy, you have to really give it a tug. I bought one for my oldest birthday gift and will most likely order 2 or 3 more for Christmas gifts bc of how cool and convenient it is.... i love it!
I play on my computer but like my PHONE where I can see it while I play. This is a LIL STIFF !! BUT its a GOOD STIFF !! Strong enough to hold phone where I need it and top swivels . I am HAPPY with this at 63 HOLDS TIGHT to TABLE not wimpy or wiggly SOLID to table to hold my phone .******LASTED SHORT TIME SORRY SWIVEL DIED . But I will REORDER
Great product very strong handle and very strong arm arm. Probqbly the strongest of all the phone holders that I've tested.
Can I mention that I love this thing? It's awesome!! I got an adjustable bed and I just wanna lay flat on my back with my feet up and not have to look either direction and I have to hold my arms up to watch my phone. So with this I can just attach it to my table and hanging over my face basically and lay there and watched TV. It's so strong I'm not even worried that it's going to drop on me or drop my phone or anything.
Only have had it for about 1 hour but it works great!
strong wire, strong grip and just the right length Only con is when I was tightening on to my bed frame I did it to tight and started to hear a slight cracking noise so don't over tightin on wide objects besides that its working great!
ordering one for my wife's side
