The Golden Compass

2007-09-15 15:39 in /books/completed

This book has been highly recommended by a number of friends, and I finally got a chance to pick it up and start reading. I definitely recommend it myself as a fun, engaging piece of fantasy. Although intended as children’s literature, it has enough substance to satisfy an adult. Although you’ll probably be drawn to read it quickly, it’s worth paying attention as you go as there’s a fair bit early on which is referenced again later in the book.

This is one of my favorite books of all time! I loved the whole trilogy and was utterly absorbed in it.
