In a landmark epic of fantasy and storytelling, Philip Pullman invites readers into a world as convincing and thoroughly realized as Narnia, Earthsea, or Redwall. Here lives an orphaned ward named Lyra Belacqua, whose carefree life among the scholars at Oxford's Jordan College is shattered by the arrival of two powerful visitors. First, her fearsome uncle, Lord Asriel, appears with evidence of mystery and danger in the far North, including photographs of a mysterious celestial phenomenon called Dust and the dim outline of a city suspended in the Aurora Borealis that he suspects is part of an alternate universe. He leaves Lyra in the care of Mrs. Coulter, an enigmatic scholar and explorer who offers to give Lyra the attention her uncle has long refused her.

Un ottimo modo per iniziare una saga fantasy.

Dopo aver visto il film, qualche puntata del telefilm, ed aver notato un generale disinteresse nel pubblico, mi sono parecchio incuriosita, perché a me le premesse sembravano davvero buone (dai, chi non vorrebbe sapere che forma prenderebbe il proprio daimon?).
L'ho letto in italiano, ma lo stile sembra scorrevole, le descrizioni non si dilungano inutilmente ed i dialoghi sono adatti anche ad un pubblico di ragazzini. Non c'è nulla di troppo complicato, ma non c'è nulla di troppo banale.

L'ho adorato.

Molti dicono che la bellezza della saga si perda nel secondo e nel terzo libro, ma a metà del secondo ancora non mi trovano d'accordo.

Good book with interesting characters and plots.
Most of them still familiar from book 1, which I enjoyed more.

Towards the end it felt as if there were quite a lot of named characters that will not return in book 3, making it all a bit confusing at moments.

Still, a very worthwhile read. :)
