    Just a quickie.

    Who here has read His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman?

    I have heard a few good things about this book and was just wondering what the guys here who have read it think of it?

    I wanna be sure it's good before I part with my hard earned boola :rolleyes:

    I've read the first one. It's quite good, with many original ideas. However, I don't think (but then, I read it a long time ago now) that it came together as well as it could have.

    The first two are great, I found. But then when it gets to the third one it starts to slow down a bit to much.

    I noticed some people are calling him the next Tolkien (how many times has that been said :rolleyes: ). What utter nonsense.
