Phillip Pullman is kinda discouraging. he makes it sound like writing is a waste of time. he used to be my heroe. but i wonder wut the sequal will be called? I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!! :laughing: November 30, 1999 12:00 am | link

Wait why wont there be a Will. he still has the pieces to the knife and 1 specter per hole to another world is nothing. November 30, 1999 12:00 am | link

I don't think people should be getting their hopes up for an actual sequel. The most likely scenario here is that he referred to the Book of Dust as a sequel because he didn't want to bother explaining it. Although on the other hand, why would he not just say "I'm working on the Book of Dust"? I guess we'll have to wait and see. Personally, I don't think HDM needs a sequel. The characters have already killed God. What could possibly top that? November 30, 1999 12:00 am | link

bball_brilliant: That's what they told Pullman when he started out and look how it's turned out for him! It kept his feet on the ground and he's telling us to do the same. November 30, 1999 12:00 am | link

although the book of dust would explain a lot i wanted to know, id much rather he made a 4th HDM chapter November 30, 1999 12:00 am | link

The question is, though, is he referring to TBOD or HDM4. He says its pretty long, and I heard somewhere that TBOD was only 50-100 pages. Let's cross our fingers!! (I'm hoping for HDM4) November 30, 1999 12:00 am | link
mogglemoose says:
me 2! PHILIP PULLMAN, IF YOU ARE READING THIS, I THINK YOU SHOULD INCLUDE A GIRL WITH RED HAIR AND VERY LIKE LYRA! A character like her would ROCK! :laughing: My friend would be a book character! AWESOME - she'd love that - and she's VERY adventurous!!! November 30, 1999 12:00 am | link
bball_brilliant says:
Ya that would b nice. i think he needs to write and HDM4 because i dont think the end of the trilogy makes no sense, "What do we do now?" November 30, 1999 12:00 am | link
Real says:
honestly i have not heard of the book of dust until very recently, however i have read a very short story about lyra.. perhaps the book of dust will provide some comic relife to the sad ending of amber spyglass.. will and lyra reunited? only time will tell.. November 30, 1999 12:00 am | link
