Dang, there goes another monitor.
For the record, I read the first book and was blown away by it on a number of levels -- I really do think it's well-written and full of fresh, fascinating ideas -- but still, it made me feel sort of queasy and in the end I decided not to continue. Though for a while, before the third book came out and made the full scope of Pullman's hatred of theism clear, I was tempted to read the second book because it looked so cool... I'm not at all tempted by it now, though. The reviews, even the favorable ones, were enough for me.
