The Golden Compass

Another one that I lowered my expectations as far as I could. This one is much larger then Narnia though.

I started with the TV series, got to a few minutes into the third episode. It took 4 hours into the book to reach that same point. It was dreadful repetitive, but I kept hoping after that It would payoff. It didn't.

The story is just too boring, the characters too plain, the world building doesn't inspire me. All is too.. juvenile, which is after all the book's target audience.
