The Subtle Knife by Philip Pullman

2.0

How oh how does this have a higher average rating than Golden Compass?!

I flew through Golden Compass in days, what an engaging read. It took me back to the transporting joy of reading from childhood with adventures and supernatural elements and other worlds. I was excited for part II of the series, only to discover that the author tossed out all of the elements that made the first one successful. After slogging through over weeks, I decided to call it quits halfway in. So sad!
