Rating: Summary: This book was great!! Review: I first recieved the Golden Compass as a gift from my grandfather. It sat on my shelf until a good friend of mine told me how much he enjoyed it. He was right! It was easily one of the best well written books Ive ever read!! Definitely worth 5 stars!!
Rating: Summary: A compelling book on the border between fiction and fantasy Review: A book that, from the first page, became one of my favourites. The tale of Lyra, a young girl from a Oxford England in a time parallel to ours, and her quest to find her father and about the experimentation on children, Dust and daemonds. A search that can relate to our own search to find ourselves.
Rating: Summary: It brought me into another world! Review: This book brough me into a world of fantasy and adventure. I love his charecters because unlike most authors he made his charectes have good and bad qualities. Either way it was my idea of fantasy. I recomend it to anyone and everyone.
Rating: Summary: My Favorite Book Review: The Golden Compass was, overall, simply wonderful! It left me on the edge of my seat at times and I was always looking forward to the next page. The plot was very unique and enrapturing. I have told many people about the Golden Compass and I have encouraged them to read it. Of course, they all loved it, too! I can't wait until the third book in the trilogy comes out.
Rating: Summary: Wonderful book, but what a cliffhanger! Review: I simply loved this book and its sequel The Subtle Knife. However I hate the way the author leaves us hanging at the end of books. I can't wait for the finale!(I'm not going to write a summary of the book, there are enough of those already!)
Rating: Summary: It provokes much thought and interest. Review: This is a great fantasy novel that gets you thinking and plays with your imagination. I'm sure you will enjoy it greatly.
Rating: Summary: Love it. Review: I love this book! But I went crazy when, like after hours of reading such a long book, I came upon the end: End of Book 1. Augh! I went crazy! Then the Suble Knife: End of Book 2. I didn't know til then that it was a trilogy! And of course, where is the last book? It's not published yet! Mr. Pullman, if you, by chance, are reading this. PLEASE finish it! I'm going crazy, and so are many of my friends. It is SUCH a good trilogy, the only problem is...IT'S NOT FINISHED! AUGH!
Rating: Summary: A stunning page turner Review: Lyra and her daemon Pantalaimon realy bring this book to life. The plot is so interesting and thick you won't want to put it down. Philip Pullman has a amazing way of painting a collage in your mind filled with confusion, fear, mystery, suspense, excitement and adventure. (Better then the Redwall series and the Chronicles of Narnia.)
Rating: Summary: Wow! Review: If you liked A Wrinkle in Time, you'll love The Golden Compass. Its a mix of fantasy, science fiction, and a little bit of horror. It's a marvelous book!
Rating: Summary: This book is in my top ten and I read a lot Review: Lyra is an orphan living in Oxford in a slightly diffrent universe from ours with deamons dust gobblers among alot of other things . Im not writing a detailed review but I would like to know if anyone can tell me what the name of the third book is E-mail me please
