"Can any of you gurus please tell me how to get rid of the first one? "

There should be an orangish box toward the upper right of your review. It should have two links in it: "Update" and "Delete."

Click on delete and follow the instructions; if I recall correctly, it'll ask why you're deleting the review and will ask you to confirm that you want to delete it. (Although it's been a little while since I last deleted one, so it could have changed a bit. Regardless, it should walk you through the steps.)

I hope that helps!

I was told by an advisor to move my first epinion on this same topic to this site since she found an error in that the category was for an audio of the Golden Compass only and not for the full book set.

I thought I had deleted the first one, but I guess not. I'm not trying to be deceptive. Can any of you gurus please tell me how to get rid of the first one?

Thanks.

i also feel that there're missing pieces along with tantalizing ones. But i feel that there're too many pieces missing and that those who haven't gotten to it yet will have some important unanswered questions.

As a reader of this one i can understand what you've written about, but that's not the point, is it?

And this is the same as your previous epinion on the series. That's a big no-no on Epinions.com.

Anyway, if you get the chance to update this, please don't hesitate to let me know and i'd be glad to reread. Thank you. ...t-žoo

This review is tantalizingly well-written and insightful, but the reader who is unfamiliar with the work in question (yes, it's been on my list for a while now) is left with a sense of frustration at the missing pieces. Hence my H rating. I do hope you'll consider revising this to flesh it out a bit more with the uninitiated reader in mind. If you do decide to do so, please do drop me a line as I'd be very interested to see it.

Hi, saumui (Reply to this comment)

Interesting take on Pullman's trilogy. For those who aren't familiar with the books, can you give a bit more background? Who are Lyra and Will? Who is Lord Asriel? Where is the trilogy set?

You don't have to discuss the plot in any detail, but if you can give your readers a bit of grounding in the universe of the books, it will help them learn if they want to read them.

Good luck!
