Chronicle Supposing Books The Golden Compass (His Dark Materials #1)

Lyra is rushing to the cold, far North, where witch clans and armored bears rule. North, where the Gobblers take the children they steal--including her friend Roger. North, where her fearsome uncle Asriel is trying to build a bridge to a parallel world.

Can one small girl make a difference in such great and terrible endeavors? This is Lyra: a savage, a schemer, a liar, and as fierce and true a champion as Roger or Asriel could want--but what Lyra doesn't know is that to help one of them will be to betray the other.

You cannot change what you are, only what you do. The writing is so beautiful in this book??? Lyra is the most adorable thing in the entire world. But at the same time, shes brave, kind, heroic, and noble. Lyra is a sweet, sweet sweetheart and shes a better hero that Harry Potter every single day of the week. HARRY POTTER WHO? I wish Harry would.My favorite thing about The Golden Compass is the concept of a daemon. Every person in the world is born with a daemon, a constant animal

Re-read, 11/4/19:I think I might have been a bit unfair to the book in my original review. Or maybe I was a bit disgruntled with YA literature in general at the time. Or maybe I was getting tired of the whole chosen one with the miraculous oracle bit driving the plot forward. But let's back up a bit here. In the particulars, I liked running around like an urchin. I did like all the Daemons. I liked growing up among all the academics. I liked running around and being a very English nuisance and

i first read this when i was like 10 or 11 and i remember really liking it. i recently came across an online thread about this book/series and the message(s) the author was intending to convey, and i was taken aback. i honestly really didnt remember anything except for talking bears that wear armour. lol. after the reread, i am suprised that i read this as a child. this is definitely a childrens book that is not meant for children, in my opinion. the deeper meanings are pretty subtle but,

Rating: 3.5 starsListened to this on audio, which was a lot of fun!

I dont love the Beatles.*Ducks as he is castigated by the seething masses*I also dont love green vegetables, punches to the face, or going to the dentist, though I dont think those revelatory disclosures will elicit much in the way of rage-fueled attempts to slit my throat with the jagged edge of a broken CD (compact disc, kiddoslook it up). So, why risk a severed jugular on the day before Im going to stuff myself so full of turkey that Ill have a snood coming out of my ear? Well, because its

After all the talk about Pullman's supposed anti-Catholicism or anti-Christianity or atheism or whatever one wants to label it, I approached The Golden Compass (known originally as Northern Lights) with an open mind and found something other than what I'd been told to expect. I found elements that questioned Christianity and Catholicism and the nature of God and its works, but I also found elements that questioned parental authority, the ethical and practical roles of Science, and the nature of

When a film was made of this book, they did the book a real disservice. This book is amazing. Lyra is the feisty protagonist, an inveterate liar, clever, passionate and loyal. She achieves the impossible, rescues an armoured bear, befriends the witches, and rescues children from a fate worse than death- literally. Pullman does a great job realising this alternate world where everyone has a daemon- like the other half of your soul - and these creatures stay with you through your life. As adults
