Has anyone out there read The Golden Compass? This fantasy/science epic is being made into a film, and after reading all the rave Amazon.com reviews, I am somewhat intrigued. It sounds like this UK author was overlooked during the whole Harry Potter craze. He is being praised (and sometimes condemned) for the dark turns in his books, and how they are more suited for teens and adults rather than children. It sounds like everything I wanted Harry Potter to be. I'm gonna go read this.
Yep, I bought it years ago in elementary or middle school and loved it. Re-read it recently when I saw the movie previews and I liked it just as much. Hopefully the movie will be as good as the original story.
