BIG thanks to Scarlett, From the Heart, for this awesome review! Thank you Scarlett!
******************* From Amazon.com...
"This is the first in a trilogy in which a new universe has been created. A world where daemons swoop and scuttle along the streets of Oxford and London, where the mysterious Dust swirls invisibly through the air, and where one child knows secrets the adults would kill for."
Accompanied by her daemon, Lyra Belacqua sets out to prevent her best friend other kidnapped children from becoming the subjects of gruesome experiments the far North.
My favorite book of all time is Northern Lights or The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman. Northern lights is my favorite book because I am a huge fantasy junkie. I just cannot get enough fantasy. The idea of the daemons is a terrific one. While reading this book I was wishing that I could have my own personal daemon and I wondered what my daemon would look like when it took on its final form.
Basically, Philip Pullman has woven a magical tale that is actually believable. It’s so well-written that I find myself pulled into the magic of the world and it seems as if I am there as part of the magic.
The characters are all definitely memorable. I loved Lyra, she is just the coolest character ever. I also remember Pan, he is just great. Pan would be such a great daemon friend.
If you’re looking for a great fantasy book with elements of action and mystery then definitely look into Northern Lights because I know that you’ll enjoy it just as much as I did!
