Book Review: Golden Compass

The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman is a great book if you intricate and deeper stories. It is the first book in the trilogy His Dark Materials followed by The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass. It has a great resolution and while this book can be slow at times, it's well worth the wait. It follows the tale of Lyra, an orphan in Oxford who's somewhat-monotonous life at Jordan College is interrupted by a visit from her uncle. Her uncle is a daring, handsome adventurer who gets her wrapped up into a new life. While most seems ordinary in this book, there's more than meets the  eye.

I've read this book and I totally agree with everything you said. My issue with the whole series is the second book. I have no opinion on the third because I never got through the second it was so boring.
