Who posted the link though?
I'm not going to read the books until I've seen the movies because the books are always going to be better than the films, so I don't want to got in with preconcieved expectations

Glad you like 'em.
Good analysis as well...I tell people to just give the first book about 75 pages, and then BAM! You're sucked right in. The Subtle Knife, heretical as it is to suggest, may be my favorite. Will rocks.
I was a bit let down by the The Amber Spyglass though. Not that it doesn't have its moments (and those moments soar), it's just a bit...well, you decide.

Pullman has also removed some interviews from his website stating that the religious themes would not be changed completely. So I do not know where he stands now, at the time of the interviews he said that if New Line had wanted to change the stories significantly he would not have sold the rights.
So, the 'Book of Dust'? Excited or should he leave the trilogy alone?
