This book is really cool: it doesn't have very much big vocabulary but it really goes deeply into the ideas of what is human or not and how our souls manifest themselves. It also approaches the question of faith versus science, and blindly following versus scoping out your paths. -- Fizzy, age 14 | |
As a parent, I have concerns about the themes and plot of this novel and the others in this series, which involve abuse and murder of children and other adult themes. Please see The Golden Compass for my thoughts. -- Emily | |
