I recently finished reading the Dark Materials Trilogy of which the Golden Compass ( also publshed as Northern Lights) was book 1. Like the reviewer i found Lyra to be an extremely strange and precocious character and couldnt decide what age range the books were intended for. Having said that i Really enjoyed these books and would say its some of the best fantasy fiction i have read in years.

There are a lot of great things in these books, but they are ultimately too peculiar, and not in the ways I'm looking for. If the children were older, maybe.
