The Golden Compass

I remember the first time when I saw the Golden Compass movie. Well I remember renting the movie from Family Video store but still I remember that in the movie the people in the movie had talking animals stuck to their side. It wasn't until many years later that I watched the movie again did I figured out that the talking animals were actually daemon, meaning that they are the other part of their soul. But anyway the second time that I watched the movie it made more sense and I actually really enjoyed it. So when I found out it was actually a book written by Phillip Pullman I rushed the next day to read the book. That all happened two years ago is why now I am blogging about it after these years? Two reasons actually, the first is because I recently own the movie the Golden Compass and the second reason is because I have yet to finish the trilogy. Yup there are two books after the golden compass, the Subtle Knife and the Amber Spyglass.

I realized that I should continue to finish the second book the Subtle Knife. I was barely a few chapters in that book until I returned back to the library. I have no idea why stopped because I was actually on a good part of the book. Must have been finals stress because I remember being a bit anxious during around the time. But I’m going back to finished the book starting with watching the Golden Compass because I really don’t want to reread the book again. Besides the movie, if I remember correctly the movie was very close to the book. But anyway after the movie I am going back to finish The Subtle Knife and then after it will be the Amber Spyglass. Truthfully I actually have been wondering what happened to Lyra and Pan after they arrived to that other world and if you read the book you would know what I am talking about. But if you watched the movie I just gave you a hint to what happened to Lyra after the movie ended.
