Title: Even if you love Lyra, it's not worth the Lira
Review: I enjoyed the "His Dark Materials" trilogy as much as anyone, however this product just isn't a good value for the money. It consists of a short story, and not a particularly great one, along with a corny, uninspired map, postcard, and cruise leaflet supposedly from "Lyra's Oxford".The short story advances the "related universe" philosophy of the trilogy only a small bit, and not in a particularly ground-breaking direction.None of the three pieces of paraphenalia advances the "story line" of the trilogy at all (although there is some unimaginative humor hidden in them).I would suggest looking for this book in the library or borrowing it from a friend, if you are worried that you might be missing something. It only takes a few minutes to read it anyway.
