I was raised in an active Mormon household. I have to admit that when I first heard about the book as an atheist Narnia I wasn't thrilled. I watched the movie and that didn't help. It was so bad. However, the HBO show "His Dark Materials" looks interesting and people say it does the books justice. I've seen ads across the internet. So I decided to investigate it. Is it going to change me going to church? Do I think it as highly as Entertainment Weekly who put it on the best book list of all time? The answer to both is no. Despite this, I think it's well written and it maintained my interest throughout. The plot is about a girl named Lyra who finds out that her world is being destroyed by gobblers who steal children away. In her world, people have a daemon a lifelong animal who stays with them. Something called dust stops the daemon from changing their animal appearance as the children grow up. I'm going to try the sequel.
