Me, I've just finished, "The Golden Compass" the first book in Phillip Pullman's "His Dark Materials" trilogy. It was pretty decent and kept me hooked, but it's really one of those books you just read, finish, think to yourself, "Huh, that was pretty good, oh well, on to the next one." and move on. It's now a fairly unpopular and controversial, (can't believe that bit, really) movie that many fans have criticised for cutting out the last few chapters, (which really was a stupid decision, the last chapter is awesome) supposedly because of religious pressure. I've never seen the movie, so I can't really give my own assessment on it, but without the last few chapters, (and the fact that it's a movie based off of a book) I don't see it as being worth my time.
Anyway, enough of that. Discuss your recently read books here!
