cthib9 's review for:
The Golden Compass
by Philip Pullman
I know this is a book meant for a younger generation, but I find children who are forced upon the reader as the book's entire moral compass and voice of reason irksome.
Also, because of this book, I hate the word "dust." Any mention of the word by young Lyra, which has a different meaning here than "displaced skin cells," was met with one of these two reactions:
- "DUST?! I WILL SLAY YOU FOR KNOWING, CHILD."
- "Wh...what did you just say? Where did you learn of this, child? Tell me more SO I CAN SLAY WHOMEVER RELINQUISHED THIS SACRED KNOWLEDGE."
Get over yourselves.
That ending really pulled the rug out, though! However, I will not be following the crew into that incision in the sky - I am fine right here.
