The Bottom Line: A new fantasy series for me to add to my favorites: Narnia, Harry Potter, The Book of Three, Lord of the Rings, Oz...
Review: I don't think of myself as a fantasy novel reading kinda guy. Never did the Dungeons and Dragons, or the Sword of Shannara series, or any of the others that would traditionally pigeonhole me in that category of nerddom distinct from my usual niche...

Full of surprises, most of them pleasant

Date of Review:  Feb 16, 2004
The Bottom Line: It's probably a good idea to research this one before you read it.
Review: Plot details: This review reveals minor plot details that occur early in the book.

I don't know if other people do what I do when they're loading up their reading queue. For that matter, I don't know if other people have a reading queue. I...

Move Over, Alice! Look Out, Bilbo! There's a New Kid in Town

Date of Review:  Nov 3, 2000
The Bottom Line: The Golden Compass more than holds its own against any of the classics of children's literature. But beware: This book may be hazardous to your belief systems!
Review: If you think that high metaphysical fantasy reached a never-topable pinnacle with The Lord of the Rings, or if you believe that Alice is the most memorable child of children's literature, you've quite obviously never read Philip Pullman's The Golden...

Brutal and evocative

Date of Review:  Mar 6, 2001
The Bottom Line: Too scary for children (and me!), this is a work of great imagination and scope
Review: I don't know if it's true or merely urban legend that when amputees lose a limb they can sometimes feel it itch.

In The Golden Compass, Philip Pullman has given me a phantom limb that's itching like crazy. Daemons. All humans in Pullman's...

Bicamerality in body as well as in mind. The story of Lyra and Pantalaimon.

Date of Review:  Nov 18, 2004
The Bottom Line: A unique, thrilling, exalting novel.
Review: A pivotal point in the development of consciousness was the recognition of the concept of self-reference. The discovery was celebrated by the Greeks in the word play of paradox: 'I am a Cretan. All Cretans are liars' is the paradigmatic form that...

The Golden Compass: Doubt, Danger, And Fathomless Mysteries

Date of Review:  Nov 13, 2002
The Bottom Line: The strongest of the trilogy; an amazing reading experience.
Review: Trust me for a moment.

Please beg, borrow, or purchase a copy of The Golden Compass. It's out in paperback, list price ten dollars; I got my copy for seven dollars through a reseller..

When you get hands on it, please don't read...

Parallel Worlds, Fantasy, & Fiction

Date of Review:  Jan 7, 2001
Review: "The Golden Compass" is the first book I have ever read by Philip Pullman. I was intrigued after reading an epinion by jrk about it. Now I?m hooked and ready to find the second book of this trilogy so that I can accompany our hero, Lyra Belacqua,...

Northern Lights? The Golden Compass? Who Cares, the Book Is Great!

Date of Review:  Dec 4, 2002
The Bottom Line: The best book for children (and everyone who likes to read books for kiddies) I've read since Harry Potter.
Review: Like I ve mentioned in my Artemis Fowl review, I was curious if I could find a new, modern book for children which I d like as much as I liked Harry Potter books. Well, I ve found it, and it s called Golden Compass. Actually, my copy is called...

Beneath and Beyond the Aurora

Date of Review:  May 25, 2005
The Bottom Line: This is the kind of book which transcends generations; the quality of the writing and the story makes this stand out clearly in its genre.
Review: # This book is known as either Northern Lights or The Golden Compass, depending on region - my UK edition was the former #

I'm a bit late getting to this one, it seems ~ although I could hardly have been unaware of the hype built up the...

Grrrrl Power!

Date of Review:  Jan 6, 2002
The Bottom Line: Action, adventure, battles, in a world not so removed from own own. Grrl power rules with Lyra leading the way!
Review: Note: There appears to be two separate listings for this book. I suppose the other cover is from the paperback version. I?m placing my review with this one, as the cover is the same as the one I read.

I hadn?t read a work of fiction in a...
