Based on the trilogy His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman. There won't be any more movies as it didn't get good critics for whatever reason. I loved it! I truly felt it was great!

Then I Googled it and learnt that the books got banned, mostly in the US, due to church???????? WTF???? Catholic church mainly feels it promotes atheism (so what?) and anti-church feelings. What???
I couldn't believe it! America truly is a land where everything is possible I suppose, haha. I don't think church could pull it off here to get books or movies banned.
Certainly not Catholic church, they lost their power ages ago, and quite rightfully so. Christian church (reformed) still has a big say in stuff unfortunately, but I doubt it'd be enough to ban books.
I was seriously shocked to read it.
And pleasantly touched to see Amazon sells the books.

Now I'm not really a reader anymore of fiction otherwise I'd get them. I'd love to know how the story unfolds...
I may still get my chance as apparently BBC1 & HBO are about to present a series on this trilogy, without leaving out the parts to make it easier to digest for church like they did in the movie.
Good for them.
If it comes out, I will watch!

Yea I read the trilogy got them on e book. He wrote another entitled, The good man Jesus and the scoundrel Christ. which was probably what got him banned in some places.

they are still available in the 2 nearest public libraries and the high school library.

possibly actually banned in parochial schools, as they are church run

most of our private schools here are. the church is prolly the only other entity with enough money to support a school

I seen The Golden Compass many years ago and waited for so long for a second movie. When I recently seen a preview for the HBO series I was so excited that I had to tell my ex about it since he felt the same way about the movie as I did.
