Summary: Read this Review (These are the BEST BOOKS!)
Review: These books are one word: amazing. I just picked up the book one day and before long I couldn't stop reading! I rushed through The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, and the Amber Spyglass in a month, and I was heartbroken to see the last page. These characters (especially Lyra and Will) are very realistic and you wish (and feel) that you are there with them. One thing that concerns a lot of people is religion. Pullman is NOT anti Christian in any way, shape, or form and you are just crazy if you think so. I have one more thing to say: stop what you are reading now and pick up a copy of The Golden Compass and start reading!

Summary: not niel gaiman but still good
Review: this book was pretty good. If anyone has ever read Gaiman's "neverwere" it vaguely resembles that. It is very creativily written but not quite as good. I know I enjoyed this series emesly but be sure to get all three, it never really ends until the last one (amber spyglass).

Summary: Wonderful Fantasy
Review: The Golden Compass is a wonderful fantasy story. It takes place in England when Lyra's uncle (father) returns from an expedition from the north. She then is brought to her mother's residence and learns what is happening in the north. Homeless children are being taken and seperated from their daemons (somewhat like a lifelong companion). With these experiments they are trying and bring the dimensions of the worlds together. Which are being seperated by the dust in the northern lights. She goes off on a dangerous adventure with gypses and armored bears to try and stop her parents who are the leaders of the experiments. Along the way they restore the rightful armored bears leader, which was their companion. They reach the northern lights and her Father (Uncle in the beginning) and her mother which was the leader of these experiments, go through the lights and they follow them through which leads on to the next book.

Summary: The best books I have ever read!
Review: I love to read more than anyone I know and I have read probably thousands of good books. These are the best. They have enough action to keep you on edge throughout the whole series, but they are not utterly devoid of reasoning. While most popular science fiction and fantasy is just chock full of epic battles, space travel, fireworks, and quests, these books give you somthing more to think about for a long time afterward- the nature of war, religion, humor, love and humanity. Phillip Pullman manages to weave together the lives of his characters in skilled and often unexpected ways. Definately a 5 star series. A word of caution- you MUST read them in order to understand the complicated plot.

Summary: One of the best books I have ever read
Review: It was boring at first but the more into the book I was the more entangled and fasinated by it's charecters and scenery, how could a person write such talented work and I'm sure many would agree with me when I say that it is the best book of many by far and I would recomend it to anyone that loves fantasy stories.

Summary: For adults and children
Review: This trilogy is original, probably unique. It is fantasy but without the absurd. For a while (particularly in the first vol), you don't know if you are in this world or a different one - which is exactly what the author intends. This fantasy - weird and wonderful though it is - is the real thing. Anyone could get caught up in it - or perhaps we are already in it? Gets you thinking. It's everything a timeless book should be.

Summary: GREAT AND CREATIVE ADVENTURES!
Review: After becoming a fan of Harry Potter at the age of 24, I thought I'd try some more young adult fantasy and see what it was like. I stumbled upon these books on this website and found them at my local grocery store and couldn't put them down. I was desperate for the third book because the third wasn't in the grocery store. The books are fascinating reads. The creativity is immense, possibly more so than Rowling's because of the breadth of the stories. And Pullman's actions and descriptions are so detailed that I feel like I'm right there. They're wonderful!
