The Amber Spyglass

I am now on chapter 24 of the third book of Philip Pullman's Trilogy. And it gets interesting as I move on to the final chapter. At first it was confusing because Pullman patterned his novel at Milton's Paradise Lost and I am unfamiliar with it, but I managed to stay hooked nonetheless. Lyra Belacqua (the novel's main protagonist) together with Will Parry (the aesahaettr, the bearer of the subtle knife) is now on the land of the dead, I wonder if they will ever get out of there alive? well, i gotta read on.
