Absolutely fair enough. And even for readers who don't take it as blasphemy, Pullman gets rather carried away with his own convictions and his bravery in espousing them toward the end of AMBER SPYGLASS, and ends up beating the reader over the head with them. . . . The ideology overwhelms the storytelling, always a bad thing.
