Would you mind linking to this? I'd like to read it. A threat? About what?
That’s not the case with “His Dark Materials” by Philip Pullman. He stated that he wrote the series to challenge Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, which he saw as ‘Christian indoctrination’.
Have you read these books? I have not, but was recommended to read them by 2 family members, though was always less than enthused to do so.
Oh, go ahead and give 'em a try. The first couple are charming, the next pair is exciting, and the final two are, well, gritty and well done.
The 5th book is probably the poorest of the lot -- it could have used some serious editing -- but it's not bad either, especially at the end.
