MORE "HIS DARK MATERIALS"

I finally finished The Amber Spyglass, which ends the His Dark Materials trilogy.  But I have neither stamina nor time to write about it now.  These kids are some ambitious readers, this book was well over five hundred pages.  Like the most recent book of the Harry Potter series, overinflated, if you ask me.  And Pullman does ascribe credit to John Milton in the acknowledgments at the end of the book, so I'm glad to see my literary instincts are intact (see my comment here).

If these books make it to these shores in any major way, say for instance via successful translation into movies, I bet they are toned way down in the theology department.  If the British got their knickers in a twist, the US Christian mob will freak out completely.  I'll say more on all this later.  For now what I'm reading are essays and journals from my writing class.
