A review by boykatie
The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman

5.0

Really enjoyable read, overall a heartwarming fantasy story with fun characters - perfect for fans of Harry Potter. I was pushed to finally read it because of the HBO show and all the good things I'd been hearing about the book from friends. I usually prefer to read the book before watching the show and this one seemed right up my alley and I'm glad I did.

It was a strong 5 stars throughout for me but at the end was a bit disappointing - a bit of an unexciting cliffhanger to get you to read the next one. Not sure if I will but am excited to watch the show.
