joshbrown 's review for:
The Golden Compass
by Philip Pullman
At first this seems like a story geared for a very young audience. But the further it goes the themes get more complex and the characters gain a lot of dimensionality. Lyra is such a smart, confident protagonist that you feel comfortable navigating this strange, new world with her by your side. And the entire concept of the daemon is incredible. I wanted to know everything about how that relationship worked in this universe and was delighted that the plot hinged on just that issue.
