"The Golden Compass" is a darker, deeper fantasy epic than the "Rings" trilogy,

Darker, yes. Deeper, I doubt it. Tolkien is so far out of Pullman's league that I don't think you would even be able to see Pullman's league from Tolkien's.

Complete agreement. I’ve read the trilogy upwards of 20 times, and I get something new and profound from it with each reading.
