Northern Lights by Phillip Pullman

Book Review/Summary Northern Lights


Pullman sets this story up impeccably introducing unnurtured wild-youngster 12-year old Lyra, who residing in, and playing round, Jordan School in this other reality, where each human has a daemon, a kind of extra residing and breathing soul-like piece of themselves molded as a creature.


A superbly (and I truly intend that) fascinating and complex, yet simple to process experience follows and grows this universe. To finish that off the principal hero is a little kid, and the story plays with the saying about a sub-reality occupied by the youthful connecting, with the egotism and on occasion disagreeableness of the grown-up world. The dream viewpoint is completely acknowledged with the daemons, yet various other conscious non-human races; lastly there's Dust.


By and large, it's a genuinely otherworldly, enchanted, and thoroughly captivating. It's about profound quality, otherworldliness, good clashing with bad and the saving of innocent people from the debasement of grown-ups. I guess the interest group is adolescents however it functions admirably as a grown-up book.

Wanna Read!
