Editorial Review:
When 16-year-old Ginny discovers that her father has a secret son she realises that everything that previously made her feel so safe and secure is a lie. As she tries to restore her faith in her father and herself, she comes face to face with unforgettable truths and long-forgotten tragedies that will change her life dramatically and forever.
The Broken Bridge is a stunning novel by Philip Pullman, the award-winning author of Northern Lights and The Subtle Knife. The teenager-in- turmoil, so familiar and often so very strange, is treated with a respect and sensitivity that moves the story up a notch, allowing the sizzling and compelling drama that unfolds between the pages to paint a potent picture of a girl on her own voyage of discovery. Pullman has triumphed again, proving that clever and sympathetic writing can easily be coupled with dramatic storytelling at its very best. --Susan Harrison

wonderful this really is a wonderful book about discovery and i have read it several times - it never gets old, even when you do!
Disappointing ... oth "The Butterfly Tattoo" and "The Broken Bridge" are decidedly avarage books, which is pretty much all there is to say abou them. Coming from Philip Pullman they are utterly disappointing. I loved both the "His Dark Materials" trilogy and the Sally Lockhart books, but fiction seems to be Philip Pullman's (only?) weak point.
"pullman does it again!" philip pulman's book ''the broken bridge'' is really good.It kept me gript and i enjoyed reading it fully.The book was easy to get into and i would definetly recommend it to any adult or teenager.The book was just as good as ''the fire-work makers daighter" which i would also recomend though proberly to the lower age group of 8-12.Ginny in this book is the main charactor and is about how she wants to find out more about her life and who her real parents are.as it gets close to her finding out the truth when... more info
eh The ending where everything of the families past is brought together in one big smack round the face was good,reminiscent of murder mistry novels. As well as the brutal murder of a childhood teddy bear which even though m 18 was scary.
However i found the characters unrealistic espesially the teenagers hwo had no commonsense what so ever between them- even for teenagers!!
Worth a read when there's nothing else but it wont be coming top of any list i write.
