Exploring Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials; Lois H. Gresh

Exploring Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials : An Unauthorized Adventure Through The Golden Compass,Subtle Knife by Lois H. Gresh
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This is the perfect book for anyone interested in the "behind the text" of Pullman's series, however the slightly too-chatty tone combined with first-person narrative (eg, "I have a few modern books about angels" or "In the last chapter, we discussed..."). I found it distracting from the actual information, but for middle grade readers - whom I suspect are the intended audience - that might not matter.
