NP (except for Pullman) Golden Compass

[Charles Albert]

Caught the much anticipated (at this address anyway) movie version of the
excellent Phillip Pullman book today and report, with some regret, that it
failed to measure up to the original in too many ways to overlook. In the
effort to condense it to 114 minutes far too much was lost, and the
narrative contraction voided almost all of the allegorical depth of the
novel.

Am now working through the third book in the trilogy with my 9 year old, and
continue to marvel at Pullman's inventiveness.
