That absolutely gorgeous "Golden Compass" meme, behind the cut. (And incidentally, the website really makes me want to see the film, even though I got very annoyed with that series in book 3).
I'm not sure I can even remember--I got them for Christmas a couple years ago, and while I liked his pseudo-Gnosticism in the first two books, I think it's something about the really obvious way in which god turned out to be the bad guy, or something like that. It was my religion geek thing--I have very high standards for people playing with religious themes, but I don't actually quite remember how the books end! And I think I loaned them all to someone and never got them back, so I can't reread.

As soon as I saw where it was going (the end of book 2) I gave up.
