The Golden Compass, Phillip Pullman
rating:
Can you believe I've never read this? I started it in December, in anticipation of the movie, but I got distracted by the fact that we have to move, the weather was bad, it's really cold here, etc. Anyway, a friend demanded that I finish it today so that we could go see the movie while it's still in town, and I'm glad that I did because I really enjoyed it. People talk about the religious undertones and they're definitely there, especially at the end. It's really pretty violent and intense at times. Mostly I'm excited about seeing the giant bears in the movie.
