I watched the movie first...starring Nicole Kidman...
Personally I thought the movie was really fun..adventurous, imaginative creatures, daemons and their masters
But my friend said the book was much better
THe movie did restructure the book in a lot of the ways but the main plots and characters are the same
I was a little surprised by Lyra's character..in the book she seems a bit cunning, rude and not that easy to relate.
Also Lyra's father and mother are really hard to understand as well.
However I love the other characters such as Iorek, witches, pirates..
I expect the 2nd part of the series to take place on Earth.
I can't wait to find out what Lyra's role is in this strange universe.
