![]() I’m even having a bit of a rejection problem with my much-loved Jane Austens because of all the Austenmania bally-hoo. I think this book with its provocative title was published here to capitalise on the recent Atheists Convention here in Melbourne, but I think I’m allergic to celebrity authors and best-sellers and the fuss that goes with them. Poor Nic, why can’t she ever get any good roles in decent movies, eh?Īnyway, back to TGMJATSC. This may not be a reflection on the book at all because I fell asleep during Lord of the Rings too, (in the picture theatre, with surround blast-your-eardrums sound) though the trilogy kept me spellbound for an entire Easter holiday the year I read it. ![]() Eventually I reserved the DVD at the library and started watching it but fell asleep before the end. Philip Pullman is terribly famous because of this film because it’s based on the His Dark Materials trilogy, and if I’m going to run the risk of receiving hate-mail from Christian Fundamentalists for reviewing a book which is said to be an attack on Christian belief, I should at least know something about his work.īut the truth is, I mooched The Golden Compass a while ago, and it hasn’t made its way up Mt TBR at all. ![]() As soon as I saw this I thought, oh dear, I should have seen the film of The Golden Compass when everyone was making a fuss about it. ![]()
