Book Reviews: His Dark Materials

Kana here.  After last time's wonderful reglious allegory, we have something similiar and altogether different.  We're honestly surprised no one's tried to ban these books yet given the not-so-hidden message about religion and growing up.  (It does seem like the best children's books are about growing up, doesn't it?)

The human couldn't find the UK versions of the covers, so we got the first US edition instead.  We are fairly sure the human has the same editions on her bookshelf.
