Helpful Score: 1

This book is purely spectacular. Philip Pullman is a brilliant writer: he challenges younger readers with complex vocabulary, while keeping them reading with plot twists and action. Simultaneously, he writes a story that can be loved by people of all ages. It is a book that isn't at all fluffy, but instead very substantial for its genre. I read it when I was younger and loved it then. I still love it now.
This book does get a lot of criticism for being anti-religious, and to be honest, it is. It is quite blatantly anti-Christian. But it is still a great book, and, in my opinion, a must read.
