The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman

4.0

Great, engaging story throughout. Very engaging. I thought all the anti-church, original sin stuff would be on some obscure allegorical level, but nope, it spells it all out there quite literally. The last couple chapters seem rather out of place, like the author was just weaving the whole tale to get to his little personal diatribe. I'll be intrigued to read the next one.
