Synopsis ‘I think of him all the time, and he thinks of me not at all…’ This is the story of two brothers. One is impassioned and one reserved. One is destined to go down in history and the other to be forgotten.

In Philip Pullman’s hands, this sacred tale is reborn as one of the most enchanting, thrilling and visionary stories of recent years.

Bookclub Review This was a fantastic book group choice. Last Thursdays evenings discussion was exactly what book groups should be i.e. an emotional discussion to strong interpretation of the meaning of the book. Philip Pullman kept the biblical stories accurate however the interpretation of the resurrection was at best interesting.. The ancient stories that have been recorded are as prevalent back then as they are today. This raises the age old question has anything actually changed in 2000 years?
Pullman’s book are mostly aimed at the young adult market but this book has been written for a wider generations. The subject matter is controversial but reader, if you are looking for a debatable book you have found one and you will certainly be thinking about this book for some time to come!
