I wish I'd seen this thread earlier
I love PP's His Dark Materials trilogy and can't say which is my favourite book of the three.
when I was given the recommendation to read them I was warned that the ending of the Amber Spyglass was a bit weak compared to the rest of the trilogy, but I found the ending very fitting to the story.
I just hope that when they make the film of the third book, they don't do a Disney and change the ending to appeal to a more comercial audience, but from the trailers I've seen (which are almost exactly as I imagined the characters) I think my fears may be unfounded

ETA
just watched another trailer and they keep refering to the Alethiometer as The Golden Compass which doesn't make sense (especially as it isn't a compass, it just resembles one, and is always referred to as an Alethiometer in the books)

I'm still going to watch the films though and I'm looking forward to the religious outcry when all the implications of the story are widely known (should be bigger than the Da Vinci Code as the conspiracy goes deeper and much further back)
