I am not religious and I am not a parent. But I loved "The Golden Compass" (book 1) with Lyra and her animal and the ballonist and his Hestor (a rabbit). I liked "The Subtle Knife" (book 2). Book 3 was ok, but not so good as 1 or 2.

My sister is evangelical and didn't allow her children to read "His Dark Materials" (the trilogy name). The religion part of the book is boring and like

- I guess if it convinces a kid not to believe in God the belief isn't strong. There is much more: talking polar bears and other animals, mystery, fear. So I don't agree the books are "bad as they say". JMO.
