Oh, man, this really makes me want to re-read the entire series again.

I've recently gotten into audiobooks for the first time in my life. I wonder if there's a quality production of His Dark Materials.

Just looked it up. There are 6 more books outside the original trilogy (9 in all). I have some reading to do.

Wow, I had no idea! I gotta look into those too. Thanks for the head's up!

I read the first one, and was really let down. I waited twenty years for those books to be released and it was so bad it felt like a slap in the face, to the point I became concerned for the author's cognitive health as I couldn't think of any other explanation for the precipitous decline in quality.

The audible version was decent, I reread them all on audiobook ahead of the HBO series and wasn't wowed but I wasn't annoyed either. That part in Amber Spyglass still made me cry so that's a kind of endorsement.

Don't forget the BBC show as well!

I recommend you do forget it, just as a counterpoint.
