The Golden Compass (His Dark Materials, Book 1)

Rating:
Summary: An Amazing Book
Review: I've read lots of fantasy books but this one definately ranks close to the top. It's one of those few books that is never slow and has no dull moments. Philip Pulllman's writing style is exquisite abd you won't want to put it down. I haven't heard a bad review from anybody, so if you're looking for something to read get this book. I can't wait to read The Subtle Knife and I'm hoping the third Dark Materials book will be out soon.

Summary: Unforgettably enchanting ...
Review: "The Golden Compass," along with "The Subtle Knife," is one of the best books I've ever read. While you would pull this gem out of a children's books section, it's certainly a gaurunteed delight for all ages.

Summary: A lyrical and captivating story.
Review: The Golden Compass, is by far one of the most riviting and exciting fantasy novels I have ever read. The Golden Compass, and its sequal The Subtle Knife, have captured a place in my heart among such other jewels as A Wrinkle in Time, The Book of Three, and Peter Pan. Lyra's world, and the corresponding parallels she discovered, are rivaled only by Narnia and Middle-earth. Philip Pullman has succeeded in creating a fantasy that will live on in the mind of the reader forever, and will continually pull the reader back for more.

Summary: great!
Review: I thought this book was great! Pullman's writing style is absolutely exquisite. There is definitely a reason why it won the British 1995 Carnegie Medal for children's book (under the name northern lights). To the members of EFAAAL, find other books to try to censor!!! If you want trash that should never have been printed try the romance novels...leave this one alone!

Review: The Golden Compass is an amazing, complex story and I totally love it. I am currently reading it for the fourth time and it is just as great as it was the first time I read it. I would recommend this book to anyone. The interesting and lovable characters will become a part of your life, and the detailed, suprizing plot will keep you glued to the book all the way to the end of The Golden Compass and on to the second book in the trilogy, The Subtle Knife.
