Book Reviews of The Rough Guide to His Dark Materials (Rough Guide Reference)

Book Review: Opened up my world.
Summary: 4 Stars

After having read the trilogy and thinking about it a long time, I was curious about this book. To be totally subjective, I loved the format and printing of the book. Then, it also made me think even more about the trilogy. I welcomed the illumination of such a dense work. It brought up many details that I have either forgotten or glossed over. I appreciate this book and have purchased it for other fans of the trilogy.
