So, I saw the movie before reading the book (I know, bad idea) and wasn't really expecting too much. Of course, the book was about a million times better (that always happens..). I love Lyra's character!! She is spunky, lovable, courageous, and a true friend - but best of all she is still a flawed character. I couldn't wait to see what next scrape she'd get herself into and what new character she'd meet. I was especially intrigued by the descriptions of the relationship between humans and their deamons. What a clever idea.
The best part of the book was probably the last section because I had NO CLUE what it was going to end that way. Pullman completely blew me away with this one. Very creative and intriguing.
