Summary: Phillip Pullman is a freak of nature.
Review: I am a new member of EFAAAL, a group of reviewers which is growing quickly. Along with a lot of other people, I, Calandra Garton, believe this book does not deserve to be published. Sorry, but that's just my thought. And I also agree with the readers from San Jose and Mexico City. I support you two.

Summary: It has some good features.
Review: Really, it does. The Golden Compass has kept my fireplace going for an hour and a half. I am watching it burn as I write this review. It was quite easy to get it going: I just sprinkled some holy water on it and it started burning. So far, most of the people in EFAAAL(the Emerald Forest Association Against Awful Literature) have done the same. And the smoke from this book has a unique, rotten-like stench. All of this is happening for a reason: "The Golden Compass" isn't good for anything else! It's a really bad book, and a lot of people are afraid to say so. Don't be afraid to voice your complaint.

Summary: Disappointed.
Review: My name is William Verdugo, and I am a member of the Emerald Forest Association Against Awful Literature(also called EFAAAL). You might have heard of us. You might also know that we have condemned this book as "pathetic." We also advise you against buying it. I am a more passive reviewer than my counterparts. Still, I must admit that "The Golden Compass" is pretty bad. I am a more moderate member, so I gave this book a two-star rating. By doing this I'm being pretty generous. However, I have a request for all of you people out there: Open your eyes, dangit! Open your eyes and you will see the unfair things that are written in this book.

Summary: Adventures you will never to forget!
Review: I read this book right when it came out. I was only in 6th grade, and to this day I still haven't read another book with as much imagination as Philip Pullman put into this one. Lyra and her golden compass are an inseperable duo (though some do want to separate them) that travels on adventure after adventure with polar bears and witches. The perfect touch were their daemons who put an extra bit of imagination into the book and makes you wish you had a daemon of your own. This is a great book for all ages!

Summary: A disgrace to modern literature.
Review: Hello. I am Francisco González, the leader of the Emerald Forest Association Against Awful Literature(EFAAAL for short). My association has decided to condemn this book as"pathetic." You will hear more from my frieds, but in short: this book is pathetic. Bad characters, bad form, and insulting morals. I think anyone who likes this book needs to think it over again. You will hear from our people.

Summary: A Wonderful Tale for Every Age
Review: I read The Golden Compass upon the recommendation of my professor at the University I attend. I was surprised that a man of such intellectual capacity would be advising to read a children's story. After completing The Golden Compass in just two days time I was now only astonished by my own arrogance. The wonderful adventures and discoveries of Lyra Belacqua can be understood and interpreted on multiple levels. I highly recommend this well-spun tale to people of all ages!

Summary: One of my favorite books of all time!
Review: This book is an enchanting story about Lyra and her journeys. I love different kinds of books, and this is one of my favorites. I loved it so much, I made my Mom read it, and she loved it too! I recommend the Golden Compass to any young adult who likes enchanting stories. I can't wait for the third one to come out (and also recommend the second book, The Subtle Knife).

Summary: A suspence that Mark Twain might look for "far fetched"
Review: This book combines action suspence action and a weird girl named Lyra into an action packed drama.
