<HTML>Yes, I have read 'His Dark Materials', and there were things in there that I liked - much better than H. Potter, Esq. - but ultimately his wholly negative view of Christianity put me off. Contradictory, you say, seeing as I slagged off Lewis for being too Christian? Well, no; I'm not a Christian or any sort of believer, but that doesn't mean to say I can't see the virtues in Christianity. Pulman's views were just too confused to get across, and at the end of the three books it left me feeling let down and thinking 'So what?' He seemed to want have his angels but not any sort of God, and that, quite frankly, strikes me as illogical, Captain. OK, rant over.
(Btw I've just put the poetry page up on the site, which should cause a few more arguments).</HTML>
