I finally did it. I finally finished all the books in Phillip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy. Let me start by saying that I listened to the audio books for all of them, and they are superb. It’s a full-cast production with Pullman as the narrator, and he has the perfect voice for his stories. It can be hinky letting the author do the reading, but in Pullman’s case it felt like the most authentic interpretation of the books possible. He could read the phone book to me and I’d be hooked.
