Summary: One of the best
Review: The Golden Compass is one of the best books I've ever read. It tells a tale of a young girl (Lyra) who goes through adventorus journeys to the North. She meets a variety of people (if that's what you'd call them) from witches to polar bears to kidnappers (or Gobblers). She befriends some people and makes enemies out of others. As she journeys into the North she learns some secrets about her life that shocks her very bones. From starting out in Oxford and landing in the North it turns into quite a story and I hope you read it!

Summary: James's Review
Review: I'm not going to tell you what it is about because there are other reviews to tell you that. I'm going to tell you how good it is. I read books this size and they take me about 3 weeks. This one took about 7. It is so boring at the beginning and slow starting. But once you get too about page 250 (lucky I had nothing else to read) it gets so exciting it is impossible do anything but read it. I forced other people to read it by taking away the books they're reading and not give them back to the people until they've finished Northern Lights (which is what it is called here) and by the time they've finished they don't want to read the book I hid from them. His Dark Materials is a fantastic series with avery slow start an exciting middle and a tragic, heart-pounding adrenaline-pumping end.

Summary: YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK!!!
Review: Last week, there was a book burning sponsored by a church in the United States. Among other things consumed were some Harry Potter books. Well, I think that if the Dark Materials trilogy had the same level of popularity as the Harry Potter series (and I think it much deserves it), then The Golden Compass, etc. would be more likely than Harry Potter to show up in any book burning.These books are deep. They deal with mystery, adventure, sadness, energy and delight, growing up, life and death, moral ambiguity, betrayal, destiny, power, elementary particles, the Church, and much more. It all adds up to the most purely fun (and emotionally evocative) read I have found in a long while, maybe ever.

Summary: This book rocks!!!!
Review: I had never read a book by Philip Pullman before this one. At first it was kind of boring and I didn't think I'd get into it, but then it got exciting and all those synonyms of exciting.

Summary: Fine if you are under 18...
Review: What can I say: the characters were flat and the story linear. There was just no depth to it, and after all the hype I was very disappointed.

Summary: A great book for teenagers and adults of all ages
Review: This is just a recommendation. I really enjoyed the book and ever since have wanted a daemon of my own. If you enjoy good quality fantasy novels this is well worth a look.

Summary: Excelente!
Review: I did the all time no-no of book reading: judging the book by it's cover. I was short on time at the library and the book I wanted wasn't in, so I grabbed a book with an interesting cover and proceeded to read. And it was awesome! The book was better than the cover! The reader can really relate to Lyra and her pain and struggles. You cry, laugh, and plot along with her. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Summary: Enchanting!
Review: I am personally a big fan of the Harry Potter series, and am pleased to find another set of books just as creative and immaginative. I have only recently finished the first book, and am looking forward to the next two books in the set. Philip Pullman paints an exciting tale full of mystery, fantasy, and adventure. Lyra, a wonderful little girl with plenty of spirit, and her enchanting daemon, set off on an exciting adventure to rescue the lost children from the "Gobblers". She is living amidst a world where a war between good and evil is on the brink. She encanters many friends and foes along the way, and with them and the help of a "truth teller", Lyra makes her way North. I especially enjoyed the daemons in this book. It's a fantastik idea, and extremely creative. Attached to every human by an invisible link is a daemon, a part of themselves, expressed in animal form. It's like having a best friend with you all the time, and the thought of which is extremely comforting. Along with that, and the spunk and determination of Lyra, I recomend this book to any mature reader, despite age.
