Philip Pullman
Are his novels any good? I'm asking because, the Golden Compass is coming out in theators, and wondering if I should spend my time reading the novel first. But, I don't want to waste it by reading a crappy book.
So, are his novels any good? And more importantly is the Golden Compass any good?

Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy(The Golden Compass, The Subtile Knife and The Amber Spyglass) are all amazing books. They are some of my personal favorites right up there with Artemis Fowl, Harry Potter and R.A. Salvatore's The Legend of Drizzt. I was appalled when I heard they were making a movie. I don't think they'll be able to pull it off with out butchering the books.

Of course read the His Dark Materials trilogy! There some of my all-time favorite books! Though they're not for those who are easily offended at controversial topics (read the last two and you'll see what I mean). I sure hope they don't screw up the movie, or I'll have to kill someone!

I checked it out, its pretty cool. Its not bad, I'll be reading the rest once I finish the first.
Also, Controversial topics don't bother me, I actually enjoy reading such topics.

Yeah, the His Dark Materials Trilogy are up there with the best books I've ever read, and that's saying something, 'cos I've read loads! Northern Lights/The Golden Compass is a bit slow to get going but nevertheless a great starter to the trilogy. The Subtle Knife is great, and you're thrown straight into an adventure, and the Amber Spyglass is in my opinion, the best of the three. It's so detailed, and with great twists in the plot. You have seriously got to read these.
