      Oooh oooh did you read Amber Spyglass did you did you how was it if so because I just finished it and I must say the ending was much more tragic than Northern Lights.

      So did I. It is one of the best endings I have ever read.

      Me too. It seems like lots of people refer to it when asked about books that made them cry.

      No idea that it had any following much outside Australia. Also loved May Gibb's illusutrated Edwardian fairy tales, Snugglepot and Cuddlepie.

    I was so surprised when he said Medtner. Pleasantly, though. He just keeps doubling my sympathy for him.

      I was surprised too, as a big Medtner lover!

    I just wish he would sort out the TERRIBLE ending to the dark materials trilogy. He attacks religion for having arbitrary punishments and then what does he do in his own universe? Dishes out arbitrary punishment to Lara and Tom.
    Pillock.

      I'm sorry if I make english mistakes, I'm French.
      Philip Pullman never forced anyone to read his book so you don't have the right to boycott his book just because you don't like it. That's called censorship. If you don't like it, don't read it and leave us alone.
      The second thing is that you are so close-minded that you misunderstood the point. Religion and God aren't the problem in His Dark Materials. The problem is the ones that take hold of us by submitting our conciousness ; Dust. For Pullman, Dust is the materialization of the divine and it is what enables us to have free will, to feel compassion, love.... things that blinded people like you never radiate. You prefer to write "Pillock". Great contribution.
      Anyway, did you even read the books ? Who are Lara and Tom ???

    Can't believe the amount of people gushing over this bloke.
    He writes shit and he's in love with himself. If you doubt me, just read His Dark Materials. It's a complete embarrassment from start to finish

      Seriously?
      Be honest!! Are you merely jealous? (It happens).
      Because I might consider your claims..

      I adored His Dark Materials

      Okay, you moron. Everything he writes is elegant and of the finest quality. You are the very essence of buffoonery. If you can't appreciate or comprehend what good writing is, go sit in the corner and cry.
