    3.5 Right in the middle of 3 and 4 for me. I really enjoyed some parts. I thought the daemons were interesting, but I also wanted a bit more information about them (I felt like I missed something about them). Longer review to come.

    I suffered my way through this trilogy as it was "The greatest thing" and concluded that it was only deemed such as the Literati never deign to read Sci-Fi and so thought he dreamt up all the stuff he just re-hashed.

    This was a quick read. The writing occasionally got in the way of the story. While the story was engrossing, it did not exactly inspired me to run to the bookstore and get the second book. Having said that, I will probably pick up the rest of the series at a second hand bookstore.

    Intrigued me until the end, but with the child abuse and religious themes in this book, I'm wary of continuing the series.

    I remember a few years ago when the movie came out there was an uproar of sorts about this series so naturally I wanted to see for myself and read it.
    I enjoyed this book, it captured my attention

    It's a curious setting, an alternate universe compared to ours, but with the same cities and places, though this serves the setting as well. If you've seen the film, the aesthetic is very accurate. The characters are interesting and have detailed and distinctive personalities. The plot is strong, the book has a statement to make and not everyone is likely to agree with that statement. The film has taken out the more controversial parts, and smoothed some of the sharpness of the original plot. It's certainly worth reading.

    The General Oblation Board of London reminded me of the religious sects of the world.
    A very intricate story and meanings/metaphors;
    Lord Asriel = Angel of Death?
    Lyra = consetllation in the Northern Hemisphere?
    Belacqua = maker of music
    Panalaimon, Lyra's daemon = all forgiving
    dust = "human wisdom, science, art.." per the author

    I enjoyed this book and I'm surprised it's listed young adult.

    I really do not know how to word reviews in a way that make sense to anyone but me. I will say, that I read this book and was completely immersed in it. I thought it was perfectly written. I believe the author did an amazing job of creating an atmosphere and making it easy for me to visualize. I think this book can be enjoyed by younger kids and adults alike, and recommend it to anyone who likes to think.

    The Golden Compass seemingly takes place in Oxford, England, but there is an alternate universe at play. Young wild child Lyra Belacourt isn't afraid of much, especially an alternate universe. But in the beginning of The Golden Compass all Lyra cares about is getting into the Retiring Room of Jordan College, a room where, if women are not allowed, then children definitely are not. Tell Lyra she can't do something and of course, that's all she wants to do. She lives in a world where shape-shifting spirit animals called daemon familiars are the norm. Every person has a daemon and when they die their daemon fades away like a wisp of smoke. Lyra's daemon familiar is Pantalaimon, a fiercely protective companion who can be a moth, bird, ermine...whatever the situation requires. Pantalaimon won't fix on a permanent shape until Lyra is older, closer to adulthood. But, I digress. Back to Lyra and the Retiring Room. She and Pantalaimon find a way to sneak into the room and eavesdrop on a secret meeting between her uncle and college officials. Uncle Asriel tells a tale of danger and mystique involving Dust in the North. Soon Lyra finds herself more than eavesdropping. Because of unknown talents she is pulled into a terrible world of evil scientists, kidnapped children, witch clans, and armored fighting bears. In The Golden Compass you will meet Gobblers, Tartars, Windsuckers, Breathless Ones, gyptians, Nalkainers, and many others, but it is Lyra and her daemon who will captivate you.

    In Book 1 His Dark Materials the young Lyra and her daemon, Pantalaimon leave the Oxford college she calls home, to rescue her friend Roger, who is one of many children who has been stolen by the Gobblers. She is gifted an alethiometer and quickly learns how to use this ancient provider of answers, a talent that normally takes a lifetime to achieve. Thus begins an entertaining and fast moving adventure involving armoured bears, gyptions, fairies and witches.

    I first read this book when I was 10, and it has remained a favourite of mine ever since. In my opinion, this is the best book of the trilogy, but all are worth reading. A fantastic, imaginative adventure.

    A hypnotic, compelling fairytale, despite the difficulties of the opening segments. Destined to become a classic across all age groups.Phillip Pullman creates a story set on an alternate Earth, in an alternate Oxford and London, England, that takes Lyra Belacqua, Oxford ward and hellian, into the perils of the Arctic and the mysteries of the Aurora Borealis.While some of the concepts in the novel are not new and are predictable (a king lost then found; villains who end up related to the protagonist), others are deliciously novel or at least presented with a novel twist. The writing is tight, and after the ponderous and confusing first segments the story suddenly coalesces and launches the reader on an adventure of high proportions. I found myself turning pages and hungering to return.Some of the segments and concepts are indeed very dark, quite adult if moralistic, and perhaps a bit mature for children, although certainly I would recommend the novel to ages 13 to 90.Overall a very good read.

    These are great, heartrending books of fantasy -- based in part on Paradise Lost by Milton but fulfilling the requirement of creating a believable alternate world that you care about deeply. Even if you're say, 40 and not 14.

    Pullman has crafted a unique, believable world in which people have demons (the animal representation of their soul), animals speak, and witches fly around. Fans of other young adult fantasy novels will find it easy to get on board with the world of The Golden Compass. This is the first book of a trilogy.

    The Golden Compass is an epic fantasy novel. It takes place in a similar world to our own. A striking difference is everyone’s spirit is in animal called a daemon. Your daemon walks and talks outside your body. Your daemon also represents your personality. The main character in the novel is a girl named Lyra. Lyra is smart, strong willed and adventurous. The novel follows Lyra through a grand journey seeking the truth of the world. I really liked the Golden Compass because it proved itself to be more than just a fantasy children’s book. The story had a deeper meaning anti-church theme. Throughout the novel it attacks religion and God. It was very interesting to read and see how an author could write a book that can be interpreted in two ways: a fun easy read for children, and an in-depth adult novel.

    I liked the movie for the knitting (noew trying to replicate some of the clothing in the movie) and for conveying the feeling of Lyra's world. And I loved Sam Elliott and Yorik. But the movie is a pale and very brief summary of the book-whihc only improves upon re-reading. This is a true classic, addressing the most basic issues of personal freedom and responsibility. And the worlds that Pulllman creates are so ownderful and absorbing.

    I enjoy chance finds on friend's bookshelves. This story caught my attention immediately, and kept to straight through. The strength of the characters, the devotion between friends, and the high adventure were delightful.

    I had forgotten a lot of what happens in this book so in some ways it was like reading a brand new book, but I think this may have slowed down my reading because I knew the general outcome of the tense bits.I liked that lots of things went unexplained but I'd like to know more about the world and the way it works - I love alternate universe/world stories.I really liked Lyra and Pan. I would like a daemon of my own - I think a rat shape would be good.Will read the second and third books but not in any great hurry right now.

    I read and loved this book when I was younger, I think reading it at an early age influenced my imagination to this day. Something about the idea of having a shape-shifting little animal that follows me around every where one goes is captivating for most all younger readers, and is still appealing now, to be honest. It's for ideas like this that I like reading adventure stories for younger readers, as most adventure books aimed at older audiences tend to get too serious.This book improves with the age of the reader, though I wonder if I would like it as much if I hadn't read it when I was younger. The details are consistent, something I always look for in fantasy stories. Action scenes are described well, paced decently and engaging. Characters are, indeed, consistent, convincing, varied, and, most important, lovable.I would recommend this book to any young reader or any adult reader in want of something fun and less complicated.Now I remember why I named my childhood pet guinea pigs Lyra and Pan.

    This is one for which I will I have to defer to public opinion. Widely considered a great fantasy series on par with Lord of the Rings, I found the jargon and the world building obtuse and the characters hard to appreciate.. (Also, I never really loved Lord of the Rings either, so maybe I'm not the best critic for this sort of thing.) What Pullman has done here is create a vast and believable world that gently invites readers into it. Readers who enjoy this sort of fantasy will love it. Possibly not the the best recommendation for reluctant readers, as its length and obtuseness could be turn off.

    Phillip Pullman did a fantastic job with 'His Dark Materials' books. They are engaging and clever. The Golden Compass is the begining of Lyra's journey and what a fantastic journey it becomes. The ideas and premise of this work is smart and exemplary. I recommend it to everyone!!!

    This was a good book. It kept my attention the entire time, even though I'm not normally a fan of the fantasy genre. I was disappointed in the ending, though. It was too convoluted for the rest of the book.

    This book had equal parts religion, science, and childish wonder/magic which was fantastic. I didn't completely understand the Dust and elementary particles, but neither did Lyra so that's okay. We were equally confused, sad, filled with wonder and despair, and pumped with adrenaline and love. Daemons are a fascinating alternative to "inner voices" and Pan represents everything Lyra is: a rough-and-tumble kid with a heart of gold. I managed to tear through the book in 3 days and am very proud of this feat.

    I listened to most of this on audio book, and loved it. Lyra is scrappy and delightful. Pullman's unique style of throwing the reader into the world of the characters without much explanation or introduction takes some getting used to, but eventually, I really enjoyed the technique. It came me engaged where I otherwise might have become distracted.

    This book was almost good enough for me to stop saying that I don't normally like fantasy books. Unlike many famous fantasy books out right now, this one follows the quest of a girl. Plus, one of the protagonists is a Texan! That never happens.First thing's first-no, it's not Harry Potter. Yes, it does have many of the same ideas as much of children's lit-the orphan, the plot twists that seem to only exist so that something can happen to increase the pacing, something important left by a parent, etc. Despite the theological underpinnings (antithesis of Narnia, anyone?)and a vocabulary that had me reaching back to my days studying for the GREs and SATs, it is still a young adult novel and should be read as such. But this book does offer many things that Harry Potter doesn't-a change of scenery, talking animals, and a of course the daemons.Second-this doesn't take place on earth. From people I've booktalked this with, that seems to be a big hang-up. The next book starts on earth in this universe, but the first one is in a slipstream (a bit like the Eyre Affair...hey, why is all this great fantasy coming from England?). There are many indications that it takes place in the present, with plenty of anachronisms thrown in to make it confusing as to whether this is Victorian or post WWI. Just let the descriptions wash over you and understand that nothing is current.In a parallel universe, Lyra and her daemon (which I gather is a cross between an external soul and a familiar) are faught, taught, betrayed, kidnapped, almost killed many times. The villian is never all bad and the hero is never really that good. But there are many truely loyal and good people in this book. There are also plenty of plot holes and dragging parts, but they're easy to mentally gloss over. I'm glad this is being made into a movie because the entire time I read it, I was picturing how it would be shot and which parts of the book would get the axe. I'm eager to move on to the other books in the trilogy.
