Summary: I loved it.
Review: I thought this book was the most wonderful tale anyone could read. The list of wonderful reviews in my paperback edition don't even begin to describe it. I have finished the second book The Subtle Knife and can't wait to get my hands on the third. I treasure this book. The story twists and turns as it reveals it amazing, daring characters.

Summary: Wow................
Review: This is the first of a trilogy. Like The Subtle Knife it is difficult to put it down. You get very involved with Lyra and her little deamon.

Review: This was THE best book I have ever read! Everyone thought I was nuts, because I simply would NOT put the book down! I read it from cover to cover in two days! I normally don't even like to read! So I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who knows how to read English!

Summary: The best book I've ever read and ever will...
Review: I read Philip Pullman's "The Golden Compass" when I was in 5th grade. Now I'm in 6th grade and I still read it over and over again. Many of my friends wants to borrow it from me, I can understand why. Lyra is THE most interesting character I've ever read. She's brave, adventurous, and fun. I wish I had a friend like her. Everyone should read this book!!!!!

Summary: I LOVED this book! Philip Pullman is the best author ever!
Review: I loved it, I loved it, I absolutley loved it! The Golden Compass is my favorite book! I read The Subtle Knife too and they are both thrilling and suspenseful. Both of them have some sad parts too. So far His Dark Materials is turning out to be a fantastic trilogy! Pullman describes everything so well that I feel like I'm traveling right beside Lyra or Will, like a daemon. I can't wait until The Amber Spyglass comes out, I get so into the book and then I have to wait to find out what happens! Some people think the trilogy is has too many "adult" issues, but I ten years old and I didn't think so! I think The Golden Compass and The Subtle Knife both deserve 5 stars and I just CAN NOT belive anyone who would give in any lower than four!

Rating:
Summary: It was great!!!
Review: I think this was one of the best books that I ever read. I really don't see why some people didn't like it namely the EFAAL or whatever the heck they call themselves. The characters were well developed, as well as the scenes and actions. I liked the ideas that Philip Pullman portrayed. I can understand people disagreeing with them...but that doesn't make the writing of any less quality. It's a great book - bound to become a classic. I can't wait for the third one to come out!!
