Part one and two were excellent fantasy. Original characters, fun to read, suitable for teenagers but not boring for adults. Great descriptions of Lyra and Will being out-of-place in the other's universe. Also, I want to meet an armoured bear!

However, in part three the religious imagery got a bit much. Angels and dust and the Authority and ... in the end the excitement wore off. I am also not too keen on the Alethiometer as a plot device.

Nevertheless, recommended.
