Summary: Awsome Book!!!
Review: "The Golden Compass" is one of the best books I have ever read. I'm now reading the second in the series "The Subtle Knife." It is just as exciting and action packed as the first. I suggest any Sci-Fi or Fantasy lover should read this book!

Summary: I Absoulutly Loved It!
Review: 'The Golden Compass' was by far the most fantasic book I've ever read! I just couldn't put it down! I think that the idea of those litte creatures (called daemons)that change forms depending on their human owner's mood is great! This is a perfect example of Philip Pullman's best work. I can't wait to read the sequal!

Summary: It is the best book I have ever read
Review: I am 11 years old and I have read The Golden Compass. I am very picky about books, and this book is definitely the best book I have read yet. I recommend this book to anyone and all ages. When I read Phillip Pullman books, I never can put them down.I recommend The Golden Compass to everyone I know, and don't. The Golden Compass is a mixture of fantasy, mystery, and adventure. You will never think of Dust the same way again. P.S.After you're done with the Golden Compass, read The Subtle Knife!

Rating:
Summary: THE WORST BOOK EVER
Review: This book is packaged as a "trilogy", but is really only 1/3 of one book. I resent the packaging of an unfinished work as a whole book - and consider it dishonest on the part of author and publisher. I can't remember another book billed as a part of a trilogy that seemed less complete. When Pullman finishes the "trilogy", I'll gladly read all three parts of the one completed book.

Summary: I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: The Golden Compas is so amazingly and completely great. I would recommend it to any fantasy reader. The plot is fast and gripping and it is told expertly. This book compares with the top. I would not be surprised if this becomes a classic. GET THIS BOOK!!!

Summary: A thrilling novel!
Review: When I first got this book, I didn't read it for a while. I didn't read fantasy books then, and I still don't now. But this book was an exception. Started on a day when I had nothing else to read, it quickly turned into a 'must read' for me, and I read it when ever time permited. When I finished, I put it down with a sigh and wished it would never stop. I immiediatly started reading the sequel. 'The Golden Compass' is a thrilling novel, and even though I've reread it countless times, it's still just as fantastic and mind-boggling, as when I first picked it up. Phillip Pullman is a wonderful writer, I think it must have taken lots of creativity to come up with many of the ideas in this story, especialy the idea of daemons and Dust. I think that this book deserves the Newbury medal!

Summary: Book of a lifetime
Review: The first chapter of this book wasn't too gripping , however I read the other 370 odd pages in one night! This is by far the best book I have ever read and I think the story lines are amazing. The mystery of the whole book and the fact that you become so involved with the charactures is also a reason why I liked it so much. I think the idea of haaving 'demons' is fantastic, I want one for myself! Please read this book and the next one, 'The Subtle Knife' Which is equally as brilliant and moving.

Review: Although I was not too gripped at the start of the book, it got better and better. From the middle onwards it was stunning- I couldn't put it down. Anyone who hasn't read it- THIS IS A MUST!!!
