Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Excellent adaptation   November 20, 2007
Martin C (Gloucestshire, UK)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

This is a wonderful adaptation. The acting is really great - the voices are perfect in my mind, particularly Lyra, Will, Mrs. Coulter, the gyptians... Lord Asriel's seems perhaps strange to start with, but before long he seems great for the job. I agree with the above that the adaptations could have merited from being a bit longer - but having read the books and then listened to these it's not actually that noticable. The adapters have done well in condensing it to this space, spending most time on the most important bits - the end of the first book, for example. The adapters clearly have a great love of the book and Lavinia Murray has done a great job into adapting into two CDs worth, and the acting is really great. Highly recommended!


5 out of 5 stars The Mind Boggles...   July 15, 2004
11 out of 13 found this review helpful

This is an engrossing and thought provoking book, that has been transformed into an engrossing and thought provoking audio adaption. It certaininly made me look forward to sitting in traffic on the way to work.
Pullman's imagination and radical ideas are well worth the listen, and this BBC recording does it justice.
I highly recommend it.



5 out of 5 stars Silence from Eastbourne to Birmingham   June 7, 2004
10 out of 12 found this review helpful

We've only listened to Northern Lights so far, but the only sound I heard from the back of the car for the whole three hour journey was a moan of disappointment when I pulled in the services and turned the car stereo off.

Bliss at any price !


4 out of 5 stars Too short!   September 10, 2003
56 out of 59 found this review helpful

Though this is a very good dramatisation it is simply too short to do the books justice. Each book is given two-and-a-half hours which, while it gets across the essentials of plot and character development, is not sufficient to convey the depth and nuances of Pullman's writing. The acting is excellent, comparable, in my opinion, to that in the BBC's dramatisation of The Lord of the Rings. However, I have to say that I do prefer the Cover 2 Cover full cast unabridged readings of the books to this dramatisation.


5 out of 5 stars The best since Tolkien   March 24, 2003
P A Lancaster (Hertford, Herts United Kingdom)
12 out of 16 found this review helpful

The books to read were utterly amzing and now this has been bought to life in the talking books. The story is one of true mastery equalled only by J RR Tolkiens visions in his trilogy and his books on middle earth.

The story of Lyra really comes to life and we can so easily understand her, and her growing, as the character develops.

This is a must for both adults and children alike who enjoy drifting off into other worlds and experiencing new, exciting and most of the time dangerous adventures.

A thumbs up from me!!
