It's an awesome book but I warn you the next two books go downhill severely and may leave you bitter about that series. If you haven't read Pullman's "Ruby in the Smoke" I strongly suggest it.
Hmmm... part of why I chose The Golden Compass was that I had enjoyed The Ruby in the Smoke. However, I thought book 2 of the Sally Lockhart set also went way downhill; I didn't even finish it.
