thebeardo 's review for:

The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman
5.0

This book released when I was 5 and I cannot believe I waited 25 years to read this book. I guess I vaguely remember it being banned from school libraries back when the bible belt PTAs were all in a tizzy about magic (and I suppose this book would be blasphemous as well) so I guess that answers that.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the various magic systems within. I didn't even mind the child characters which I usually despise. I'd highly recommend you to check this book out if you haven't read it by now as I had.
