So I read this series a long time ago & I loved it. The first book, the golden compass is being turned into a movie that is coming out this friday (I think) so I decided to reread it. I forgot how great it was. Who else has read it?
DISCUSSELS! blaugh

I read the first one, but haven't had time to read the second one yet. I told my mother that I was reading them, she didn't like them so well because she's a religious person and thinks that the author's whole point in writing the series was to "destroy religion". . . My thought was "IT'S FICTION, WOMAN" and she said "but do you have any idea how many people think stuff like this is REAL?"
This? Real? Give me a break. People's spirits manifest on the outside of their bodies. . . Real?
I guess that the author really hates the author that wrote The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe (C.S.Lewis?). . . Who just happens to be a religious person himself. . .
I say, whatever. It seems interesting enough, and it even surprised me a little bit at the end (although it still ended pretty much how I figured it would).
I may watch the movie when it comes out on DVD, I've heard that they removed a large chunk of the "religious" aspect from it. But I thought that that made it more interesting to me.

The movie made me angry.
I've only read two of the three books. The way I see it though, people loved the Da Vinci code which was anti-christian & I mean it's just a story. I don't see what the problem is.
Also I thought I read somewhere that Tolkien, C.S Lewis, & Pullman were all friends and plotted their ideas together. I could be wrong, but how awesome would that be?
