So he's a pedant. So am I. Big deal. He knows exactly what he talks about, because he makes up a great deal of it. If you can't understand it, that's your fault. Some people just can't get into the work of certain authors. That's not the author's fault though.
The world needs a few pedants, I think. I'm one, for sure.
Mawk, three questions: 1) have you read His Dark Materials?, 2) how old are you?, and 3) are you Christian?
SeaRex, I understand. I know that, in addition to sad endings being more believable, they have a stronger impact upon the reader. I can still hate it though.
The Golden Compass fits in better with the other titles though. "Northern Lights" followed by "The Something" and "The Something Else" seems odd. See what I'm getting at?
Harry Potter's okay. The movies have, of course, ruined the good name of the Potter franchise, and the latest book left something to be desired, but on the whole it's a purty good series.
