I re-read the Phillip Pullman Trilogy - 'His Dark Materials' in the last week. I'd forgotten how good it was but was prompted to re-read when I heard that the 1st movie is on the way. It's being done by the same people who produced 'Lord of the Rings' and stars Nicole Kidman as Mrs. Coulter (very evil character) and Eva Green as Serafina Pekkala, the glamorous witch queen.
The book has strong anti-Christian church undertones so I can't wait to see how the American Bible Belt inhabitants kick up a fuss, given their reaction to the Harry Potter movies.
These books are a recommended 'good read' and have possibly the saddest ending of any story I've ever read.
