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...

Move over Harry Potter; it's Lyra's turn in the spotlight

Date of Review:  Sep 30, 2001
The Bottom Line: A wonderfully written novel.
Review: The Golden Compass is worthy of fantasy lovers everywhere. If you were engrossed in Harry Potter or The Lord of the Rings series, I promise you that you will be equally absorbed in the adventures of Lyra. This book will take your breath away and...

A richly imagined universe that holds terrifying secrets...

Date of Review:  Jun 21, 2008
The Bottom Line: A worthy addition to the likes of Lewis, Tolkien, and Rowling, Lyra's journey is ultimately captivating, as is the science behind Pullman's world
Review: I first became interested in Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy after seeing the film based on it. I found the screenplay to be disjointed and lacking, so I decided to read the original novel in order to have a better idea of important...

WOW!!!

Date of Review:  May 14, 2000
Review: This book was chosen by my bookclub for the month of May. I dutifully borrowed it from another member and started in. I admit, at first I was put off - by the very first sentence! "Lyra and her daemon..." How pretentious, I thought. "Daemon" spelled...

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...

The Golden Compass

Date of Review:  Feb 21, 2007
The Bottom Line: A wonderful fantasy book. One of my favorites, while reading it I wanted to be Lyra.
Review: Recently I heard that they were about to make a movie based on the book called "The Golden Compass." I remember reading this book when I was little and really liking it. I decided to go back and reread the book once again.

The book starts...

The Golden Compass Does Not Promote Atheism

Date of Review:  Nov 29, 2007
The Bottom Line: Don't believe the right wing religious criticism. Read the book yourself. It's well written, and not at all promoting atheism. (And so what if it did?)
Review: The Religious Debate

Right wing Christian organizations are busy sending around an email declaring that good Christians must not go to see the movie The Golden Compass or to read the book upon which it is based. Why? They say that the book...

One amazing book!

Date of Review:  Jun 29, 2001
The Bottom Line: It's one of those books that you just can't put down! The characters, the plot, the writing, everything is amazing! One of my favorite books ever!
Review: In my 7TH grade Language Arts class, we were put in a reading group, and you had to do 30 assigned vocabulary words a week from the book and 4-5 assigned essays (one essay per chapter). I was put in 'The Golden Compass' group. There was about a...

Can't wait to see how it ends

Date of Review:  Dec 30, 2003
The Bottom Line: Great book, but theists might find it disturbing.
Review: Summary:
Lyra Belacqua (Silvertongue) believes she is an orphan, left to the care of the scholars in Oxford's Jordan College. Her only known family is her uncle, the powerful Lord Asriel, a scientist, statesman and revolutionary. With her...

The Golden Compass; Literary Genius

Date of Review:  Apr 28, 2001
The Bottom Line: READ THIS BOOK!!!!
Review: I am not the fantasy/sci-fi fan, but this may be the best book I've ever read. Full of twists and turns in the amazing plot, the His Dark Materials series was incredible in it's characters and the feelings they could evoke. The series stars Lyra, a...
