Book Review: The Golden Compass

Rating: 4 stars

The Golden Compass is a fantasy book whose main character is a little girl. She goes through many exciting adventures in her attempt to make the world a better place for the people she cares about.

I found it to be very well written with plenty of twists and turns and suspense. The author, Phillip Pullman, leads the reader through a complex world of intrigue and fantasy. He introduces fantastic creatures and a world that is similar to our own. The differences between this world and ours are significant and subtle. They threw me for a pleasant loop of rethinking what I knew about the environment the characters were in any time that I became comfortable with what I knew about the world.
