I freely admit that I'd never heard of this author or these "Dark
Materials" books until ads for the Movie. I bought a paperback of "The
Golden Compass" and must admit being mesmerized by what little I've read
due to time constraints. I plan on delving fully into it on the
Holidays. I am quite taken with his idea of daemons that allude to the
soul, changing form 'til it solidifies in later life. Opinions?
