7. EXCELLENT smackdown!

Edited on Sat Nov-10-07 01:00 AM by Withywindle

:loveya:

Can't vouch for the movies, but I've read the books and, well, for all the fundie abuse J.K. Rowling got, Phillip Pullman was cruising below the radar with books that really deserve it. They're imaginative, they're beautiful...and they are EXTREMELY anti-organized-religion.

Basically he's doing Paradise Lost from a Gnostic point of view and making them YA fantasy. And he's a hell of a writer. (Though I thought the last book was kind of crammed and rushed plotwise).
