Slight Spoiler Warning

Hi! I'm new so please don't flame me if I should be discussing this 
somewhere else. I waited for AS for ages with great anticipation and 
got it last week. After reading it I found myself feeling very 
disappointed with it, and I'm glad others feel the same way (or one 
other). It turned out to be more of a rant against the Church than a 
continuation of a highly enjoyable story. I felt that the Lyra/Will 
relationship was ridiculous. At 12 and whatever age Will is, they 
should not have been talking about spending the rest of their lives 
together, that's way too mature.

Another thing ~ wasn't Lyra supposed to be tempted by Mary? Did I 
miss this or misunderstand something?

And there was less of Lord Asriel than I would have liked, I thought 
his character was pretty important, but we didn't get much new 
information from AS.

I still think that PP is a master storyteller and NL/GC and SK are 
the best two books I've read. They inspired me to try HP actually, 
though I'm not exactly sure how. 

I think that was all, I have been attempting to write this from 
memorey; I hit close instead of minimize but you don't really want to 
know that. Sorry if I've gone on a bit.

Sarah

PS can someone please give me the address of the Dark materials group?
