i read the golden compass when i was younger and i remember not liking it. i donn't remember specific reasons why i didn't like em but i'll tell ya that i didn't. then i read the other ones and i liked them more.

i liked the golden compass better than the others. in fact, i liked the series less with each book.

so how did you like it in general? worth the read?

it was well written and interesting, but also sort of blasphemous. i wouldnt recommend it bc of the content. its so hard to describe a book without giving away the plot. its starts out straight fantasy/scifi then has some biblical references that build and are inflamatory and false. was it a good read? yeah. was it a good thing to read? prolly not, imo. did i read it? yeah.

yeah, I guess thats what I was asking, thanks.

this is like me with the bourne identity trilogy. i absoluely loved the first one. its great. i was really excited to read the next one and was supremely dissapointed. maybe because it involved asia and i don't know a lot about that culture. i'm told the 3rd one is much the same of the 2nd but ihaven't decieded if i should read it yet.
