Book Review of The Golden Compass (His Dark Materials, Book 1)

The Golden Compass (His Dark Materials, Book 1)
reviewed Decent book on + 21 more book reviews


After watching the movie (which I thought was kind of dull), I tried out reading the books. The first book is better than the movie, by quite a bit, but still at times it felt like it was "work" to read. The second book was even worse and then the third book I skipped most of it. The first book is worth reading the second and third are not.
