A review by nausicaa
The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman

adventurous medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
This is an excellent adventure story, populated with aeronauts and witches and armored bears, that is also the first installment of a trilogy that is much more than an adventure story.

This edition, read by the author with characters voiced by a larger cast, is good. It provides a little bit of cinematic flavor while still being the same text.
