The Golden Compass-Philip Pullman
Premis-A young girl named Lyra takes on the challenges of acquiring possession of a magical golden compass that can answer any question her mind could fathom. This would be an amazing opportunity, if there weren't people who aren't as kind as her who would do anything to get their hands on it. A mysterious string of kidnappings leads her right to the kidnapper, who also wishes to acquire the trinket. She travels all around the world to give this magical piece of equipment to her uncle-who is desperately in need of it.
Genre-Steampunk, adventure, action
Age range-8+
Rating-4.5 stars
Review-This piece of literature contains a wonderful plot-line, an intriguing plot line, unexpected twists, and an amazing descriptions of people and places throughout the book. .5 stars were deducted because the sense of time was a bit hard to follow, and some of the characterS were a bit underdevolped. Although the beginning was a bit slow, once it got going, the book made an impact from beginning to end. I would recommend this book to most people, especially people who like fantasy in a realistic way, people who like a fast paced book, and people who like to think of things in an abstract way. I would not recommend this book to people who like things to be easy to follow, as some of the aspects of this book are a bit complicated. Overall, I think this book is a great read and I beive I will remember it and re-read it soon.
