Over 1000 pages and couldn't put it down January 7, 2009
I had watched the Blu-ray version of The Golden Compass and liked it a lot. That prompted me to buy the original books, especially since the second and third books were not going to be made into movies. I certainly wasn't disappointed! As I said in the title, I had a hard time putting it down even though the three novels in this omnibus edition were over 1000 pages long.
 EVIL BOOKS December 30, 2008

Had the author not stupidly used the term DEMON for the people's animals, he would not have lost the massive audience his books otherwise might have gotten him. I myself refused to see the movie because of this satanic crud, and I will not let my children see it or read the books. The worst mistake a fantasy author can make is to insult millions of people by using terms from real-world faiths.
Unbelievable December 28, 2008
It is a great story that keeps you wondering: "what else could happen?" It is both a good fantasy and an interesting hard-core critic to the fanaticism that is sometimes part of many religions. The mixture between both fantasy (or rather, fantastic elements) with science makes it a great story.
Phenomenal Fantasy for the Whole Family December 19, 2008

A friend recommended these to me when I told her I had been trying to keep up with younger reader materials (Lord of the Rings, Eragon, Twilight, Harry Potter, Narnia, etc). She could not have done me a bigger favor. While the other series listed are very entertaining and I am so happy to see a revival of reading, I did not find many of them to be as well written or engaging as this series. The His Dark Material trilogy is a fascinating fantasy that has a quick moving, quirky plot that keeps younger readers turning the pages, but it also provides a good bit of mental stimulation for older readers. Combining entertainment, moral dilemmas, building empathy and philosophical dynamics, this book has opened up so many discussions across the ages. It is such a great way to bring the family together for reading and discussion. My only caution is gauge what subject matter is appropriate for younger readers because some parts can get a little scary. Pullman is not too shy with death, separation or his suspenseful imagination.
 Don't waste your time! December 9, 2008

What a waste. I agree that these books were well written but don't fool yourself - the subtle anti-God message gets stronger as the books progress! Again, I say, don't be fooled! If you let your kids read this junk you will be setting them up for spiritual failure...the more you find evil appealing, the more you accept it as normal. Don't do this to your kids or yourself! Stay away - run from evil!!!
