Query: Rather Dull

I won't deny it... Pullman is an extraodinary author. For proof, you need only look to Pullman's 'His Dark Materials' trilogy. But this trilogy was dull. Very dull. It is an excellent example of Victorian England, but if that's not what your looking for, save your money. Buy something else. Buy something good.
