Can we get a plot summary? Sir Elderberry 03:42, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

-- I recently re-read this book. I will add a plot summary and convert the page so that it is similar to the His Dark Materials pages. Mike mt 03:01, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

I put a plot summary on the Lyra and the Birds page. Mtcv (talk) 04:26, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

I think i am in love with Lyra, even though she is fictional!! my name is anonymous but know that my name can be said as nallek rehsif I think my dæmon would be a Dove because hope is always by your side, whether you know it or not.

[edit] Dissapointing

I was browsing at the library and I came across Lyra's Oxford. I picked it up and read the first few pages because I loved Pullman's trilogy - His Dark Materials. I was dissapointed in what I read. Pullman lost his effect that he had masterfully created in his trilogy. Should I continue to read it, or is it over-rated? In any case, I'll have to read it if I want to read his future release - The Book of Dust. - A Philip Pullman fan

I would just read it. It's short enough to read it in an hour or less. If you've been counting down the days for this book to be published, expecting something like the trilogy, you would probably find it over-rated. If you're just looking for a bite-size snack of Lyra's world, it's good. It's just an interesting appetizer. Mtcv (talk) 04:26, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
