    It’s based on the first book of a trilogy, the series is called His Dark Materials, and was a fucking travesty of a film adaptation. I’m honestly glad they didn’t go forward with the rest, I doubt they would have handled the other two any better.

    I can’t speak on Amazons attempt, haven’t gotten around to it yet, but can recommend the books. They’re a good read.

      The books were so good! My whole family plowed through them. Movie/tv had none of the…page turning excitement of Philip Pullman’s books.

      His dark Materials? Now, that’s a catchy name.

      I really liked the world shown in the movie so will certainly give it a read.
