managed to grab me a copy of the first two books and I am already hooked on this story. no doubt that it would soon be converted into film soon, so I joined message boards for it already.

Anyway, back to the books. Pullman's style is very good. The story is somewhat a cross between sci-fi and fantasy with a bit of religion in it (although most of it can be considered allegories). Love the way he describes things -- especially from the point of view of an 11-year-old protagonist. You get to see the events from her point of view, but understand it from yours too.

Anyone here who has read this piece of work? If you haven't, you should. It's really good.
