Product Description

Product Description

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clever, suspenseful and wholly delightful, 27 Feb 2001
I can't remember the last time I read a book that had me in such giddy suspense as "Northern Lights" (it's "The Golden Compass" here in the U.S.) I'm the daughter of a theologian, and a bit of a writer myself, and yet every twist and turn in this book was a delightful surprise. My teenaged sister loves this book for the plot, and the engaging heroine - and I love it for those reasons as well as its originality and scope of imagination. I'm only sorry that I can't read it again for the first time. Kudos to Philip Pullman for the obvious hard work he put into this series! I appreciate it.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the greatest books of the 20th century., 10 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This is a brilliant book, suitable for children and adults alike. A wonderful fantasy set in a world very similar to early 20th century England, but not quite. The heroine, Lyra, sets out on a mission to Scandinavia to find her uncle who is reputedly held captive by armour-wearing polar bears... absolutely brilliant!

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 Stars Just Aren't Good Enough For This Book, 2 Dec 2000
By A Customer
I first read this book when I was 10 and I thought it was the best I had ever read. Three years on I feel the same way if not more so. All the characters are so beautifully described that you feel as if you know them well. The story is in depth and absolutely gripping - I finished it in 3 days! Pullman writes with sheer class. IF YOU BUY ONE BOOK THIS MONTH MAKE IT THIS ONE!!!!

I beg to differ. The Potter series is good and gives a simple yet enjoyable read but at the same time lacks inspiration and emotional touch. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars why is this book so well received?
I mean, it is not well written, it is not clever, it is simplistic, it is shallow (characters and storyline). And yet, people seem to love it. How can this possibly be? Read more
