The Golden Compass

For this book I read a majority of the way threw its to my understanding of have just been told that the book takes a stand point quite opposite to that of the Lion the witch and the wardrobe books in that its has the underline plot of putting organized religion specifically christian one, representing it as the Magnesium a ruthless dictating organization. That's just one view of the book but its still a good adventurers journey of personal growth and exploration. This was fun to read but at times I wondered what the proper age group this book is intended for. There are a few parts that don't seem suitable for younger audiences
