Lyra, a young girl living a sheltered life with scholars, goes out in search of her father and mysterious Dust, with help from gyptians, witches, and bears, assisted by a golden compass. A story for those who love adventure, with just enough Deep Meaning to intrigue.
A fun read for the most part. Would have given it 3 stars except for the disappointingly weak ending. I kept thinking "that's the payoff?!" So much for dust. Still plan to read the next couple of books as I am told they are really one very long story and things come together at the end.... I hope....
