The Golden Compass (His Dark Materials, Book 1)

Rating:
Summary: Most enchanting and mysterious book I have ever read!!
Review: The Golden Compass is my favorite book ever (along with the The Subtle Knife). It is science fiction and fantasy, and a wonderful read. I read it in a week even though it was about 400 pages, because I was so pulled into it. Phillip Pullman writes so wonderfully you feel like you are Lyra herself, and you get so attached to her daemon! I strongly suggest that everyone reads this book!!

Summary: Unbeleivably wonderful book
Review: This book is very fast-paced and exciting. When you start to read this book, you realize that it is impossible to put down and the end comes far to soon, even though it is a 399 page book. Perfect for reading just about anytime. This is a very easy book to get into, and you will find yourself shocked with the amazingly fast-paced turns of events and the horrible ways of the enemy. I have also read the sequel, "The subtle knife" which is just as good. I found that these books were among my favorite books I have ever read, and I am waiting in anxiety for the publication of the third volume, "His dark materials".

Summary: Great book, even for a grown-up!
Review: I teach middle school, and when my students raved about this book, I had to take a peek. Well, so much for marking papers -- I couldn't put the book down, and shrieked when I realized it would end in a cliffhanger. A powerful alternate world, interesting characters, a non-obvious plot, and plenty of suspense combine to create a wonderful read.

Summary: A Great Suspense Novel, That You Can't Put Down.
Review: When I started reading this book, I already knew I would remember it forever. I then realised there where two other books in the series, and wanted to know the realese dates. I think that the Golden Compass makes you realise how great books can get. I haven't read the second book yet because I can't get my hands on it. I am really looking forword to reading it after reading The Golden Compass.

Summary: I must have read it 10 times it was so good!!
Review: At first I wasn't so sure if I would like The Golden Compass because at the time I wasn't realy into fiction. But after I read the first few chapters, I couldn't put it down! Whenever I had a few minutes to spare, I was reading the book. Since I read The Golden Compass I looked for other Pullman books. I can't wait untill the third book comes out so I can find out how it ends!

Summary: This is the best book I've ever read!!!Very exciting!!!
Review: This book is definetly the best book I've ever read.The main charactar is named Lyra. She is a young girl 12 years of age. She makes many explorations to the far north and is captured a few times. If you like fantasy you would seriously LOVE this book. It has a sequal called The Subtle Knife which is also VERY GOOD.

Summary: My all time FAVORITE book!
Review: This is, without a doubt, the best book I have ever read in my life! Pullman does a terrific job in writing this book. It is a great page-turner, with problems right and left. I also really got to know the characters-I think that's really important. In my opinion, if you can't get a feel for the characters, it can't be that good. Lyra is such a daring, spunky girl, and is a real fast-moving character which is thrilling! I recommend this book to EVERY SINGLE PERSON LIVING IN THIS UNIVERSE!!!! (Yes, even adults!)
