You can hardly call it a kids book

I can and I do. His Dark Materials is a tale for children. Yes, it does have some intellectually advanced undertones, but it is, at its core, a story for kids (then again, that did not stop adults reading it, but it is classified as "children's literature").

Boring? Boring? You can't be serious.

to be fair, i read it in yr5.... but still... i cant be bothered at trying it again. the opening is like *yaaawn* well, it was, anyway... ill give it a shot... -fients at cheesiness of the phrase-

The best British author has to be Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes is pure genius, that and The Lost World. Failing that i would have to say Rohld DAhl (probably spelt that wrong)

I absolutely loved 'The Lost World', still do in a nostalgic sort of way. Lord John Roxton rules supreme.

Did anyone here see the BBC television version?

I like the Dark Materials. A lot.
I dont like some of his other books so much (Ruby in the Smoke ....). But they were detective books and I dont realy like that genre.

I liked the Ruby in The Smoke series, but the first few were not very well written, and I am not too big a fan of the detective genre. The last in the series (The Tin Princess) is one of my favourite books though. Well written, political, philosophical, and offensive biggrin

I read that series and the "His Dark Materials" series, I didn't like The Tiger in the Well, that book just pissed me off lol...maybe it was supposed to have that effect lol. rolleyes
I just looked at all the books in my room and only one of them is by someone from GB, Tom holt. I think some of his books are okay, The Portable Door is one of the best I think.
