cos it thought it was the most gripping chapter in it. You didnt know what was going to happen, wheter the golden monkey would get all the hair out, whether they would be caught, if the prieswt would really sever himself, what happened to Lord Roke and which worlds all the differant bits of lyra would end up in

Yeah, that's true. For sheer excitement I would have to go for when Will, Balthamos and Baruch are sitting by the fire and the Metatron comes to try and get them - it really scared me! Just that first view of Metatron and the angel's complete terror was frightening.
Does it matter if it's self-raising?

Yeah! Both the above bits were heart-pounding. Or how about when they steal the alethiometer back -- I think I had to change underwear a few times during that bit.
There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious—makes you so sick at heart—that you can't take part. You can't even passively take part. And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all

That was nerve-wracking. Also, the bit where Lyra nearly falls into the abyss in the world of the dead - I completely did not see that coming and it was one of those bits of writing that totally sweeps you up and i felt like it was me plunging down into nothing, forever... ahem. sorry 'bout that. Also lovely touching bit after that... something about Will and Lyra being the only two humans clinging to each other in a void of death...
I've chosen 3 favourite bits now! That's just greedy isn't it?

Not greedy at all... there's so many great parts of HDM that it's hard to pick. Although I personally prefered the Land of the Dead, the Marzipan story and its results, the part where they realize they can't stay together, the Botanic Garden, and the very end. So don't feel greedy Alice, I choose 5 favorite parts.

Life is much more like a soap opera than most people think.

My Favorite Part..
Hrm.. I would definatly have to say my favorite part was when the two finally realise.. in that little clearing.. that they were in love.. Oh I almost died! LOL Oh and I like the part when.... well all of it! I guess I am a little greedy too! LOL
- Feathers
You could see the clearing part coming for most of the book but that just made it better when it did come. Definitely rates as one of the best.
BTW don't worry about greed - its under-rated.

My favorite part is from when Will and Lyra are in the world of the dead - I didn't even notice it until I had re-read the book several times. Lyra says to Will that she's glad they came down together and then Will hears something in her voice that he
'liked more than anything he'd ever known" and he felt like she was thinking about something she wasn't ready to say yet - it's kind of like a first hint that they are falling in love.

There were lots of little hints like that throughout the latter half of the trilogy. I really liked these as well, and I agree they were probably as good as the actual realisation scene.
