I'm never going to bother reading the books or watching the series. How does it end? I want to know what the worst ending in the history of literature is (though I'm not sure I would qualify this as "literature", per se, based on what I've heard about its quality from you and others - more graphomania).
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

The novels are very good and as RT says, more anti-religious authority than anti-religion.

I liked the Golden Compass adaptation well enough. But then I read the book.

I actually really didn't like the novels. I found them bleak, nihilistic, and not very well written.
