The Golden Compass is a wonderful combination of scifi and fantasty, which uses mystery and action to keep you flipping through pages with anticipation.

The story is full of creative concepts that I would have never in my life been able to conjure up from my own imagination, which serves to make you feel completely inmersed in the world.

People having a “demon,” which is like an eternal familiar that is linked to your mind and feelings, is a unique premise that drew me in right away.

If you pick up The Golden Compass and follow along with Lyra Belacqua on her journey through a chaotic world of kidnappers, sinister actors, parallel universes, and the all mysterious “Dust,” you will thoroughly enjoy it.
