    • First in a trilogy - His Dark Materials

      Okay, I admit it. I was curious about this because of all the hype. I trudged through maybe half of it before giving up - I just could not get through it. For me, it had nothing to do with the controversy surrounding it. It was partly my inability to relate at all to the main character (a very young, uneducated girl), and partly because of the author's use of "made up" words. This alternate reality looked a lot like ours, only with different words for everything - and no explanations. It was just too weird for me.

      Pretty good book. The story seemed very original and it had you wondering how things would end right up until the conclusion. I do wish things had been wrapped up a little bit more at the end since I've had it recommended that I not read the following books in the series due to their very obvious agenda. The audio version is performed by a large cast, most of whom do an excellent job portraying their character.

    • The Movie
    • I choose not to read this after all because I went to the movie yesterday. I loved the special effects!!
      I don't like to waste my time reading a book when I have seen the movie. I do like to try to read the book before seeing the movie however.

    • I recently saw the trailer for the movie, and while I was on vacation, ran into my copies of the books, so I decided to read them again. This is definitely a unique story that any fantasy or even sci-fi fan should love.

    • Got bored.
    • I'm sure the movie will be better. I liked the concept of the story, but after being 3/4 through the book, I still didn't have enough information about "the big mystery" to want to keep reading.
