4.0 out of 5 stars Too short!, 10 Sep 2003
By A Customer
Though this is a very good dramatisation it is simply too short to do the books justice. Each book is given two-and-a-half hours which, while it gets across the essentials of plot and character development, is not sufficient to convey the depth and nuances of Pullman's writing. The acting is excellent, comparable, in my opinion, to that in the BBC's dramatisation of The Lord of the Rings. However, I have to say that I do prefer the Cover 2 Cover full cast unabridged readings of the books to this dramatisation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent adaptation, 20 Nov 2007
By Martin C "Martin" (Gloucestshire, UK) - See all my reviews
This is a wonderful adaptation. The acting is really great - the voices are perfect in my mind, particularly Lyra, Will, Mrs. Coulter, the gyptians... Lord Asriel's seems perhaps strange to start with, but before long he seems great for the job. I agree with the above that the adaptations could have merited from being a bit longer - but having read the books and then listened to these it's not actually that noticable. The adapters have done well in condensing it to this space, spending most time on the most important bits - the end of the first book, for example. The adapters clearly have a great love of the book and Lavinia Murray has done a great job into adapting into two CDs worth, and the acting is really great. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Mind Boggles..., 15 Jul 2004
By A Customer
This is an engrossing and thought provoking book, that has been transformed into an engrossing and thought provoking audio adaption. It certaininly made me look forward to sitting in traffic on the way to work.
Pullman's imagination and radical ideas are well worth the listen, and this BBC recording does it justice.
I highly recommend it.
