I have and it is surprisingly god and well written. It is a pity the film franchise didn't really take off back in 2007.
What did you all think of it? I liked it, but I thought the series really slowed down/ got wierd sometime in the second book.
Thoughts?
Honestly, I'm glad the christer crusade against that film was successful. It really wasn't a very good adaptation and the sequels would have been worse.
The books, on the other hand, were great. "Northern Lights (aka "The Golden Compass") was the best, but they were all quite good.
It was extremley successsful IMO. Not only did the film bomb (losing more money than it made) but I believe it caused Newline Cinema to fold.
Perhaps God didn't like it
.Fortunately though, the BBC is adapting it as a miniseries. I think a film like that is more conducive to miniseries anyway.
