Golden Compass(Book Report)

The book is called the Golden Compass. It was written by Philip Pullman. The book was written in retaliation to the book called Narnia. The author of the Golden Compass believed that the Narnia books were had a religious undertone. So he wrote the Golden Compass as an alternative to Narnia. Many people believe that the Golden Compass has an atheist undertone but after reading the book the undertone seems to me to standing up for your-self and questioning information given. The books main character is a young girl living in a College under the guidance of her Uncle. In the begging of the book you learn about the life that she leads and wonderful it is until events happen that change her life forever. I wont give away important details in fear of anyone wanting to read the book. One of the most important parts of the book are is the sudden disappearance of the main character's friend Roger. The overall was good but its mistakes brought it down for becoming a great book. For example towards the middle and end of book the book became easy figure the plot twist and it became to predictable.
