Yep, I read them when they first came out, a very enjoyable story I thought. I think there is a film not to far away.
I remember when the 3rd book was relished over here in the UK, it came out the same day as one of the Harry Potters and another written by a member of the church, some of the media billed it as a book for the church, one against (Pullman’s one) and JK's that was in the middle. Was interesting seeing how various reviews (because of their writers religious standing point) reviewed the books.
I thought it made a nice change to have ‘god’ (even if there is such a thing) as the bad / evil ones. It was a good twist.
