I've just stayed up until after 4am finishing Philip Pullman's "His Dark Materials" series. Wow. More "children's fiction" should be like this. A gripping plot, plenty of refreshingly close-to-the-bone heresy, and characters I really found myself caring for. I genuinely didn't expect the ending - well, it had occurred to me briefly earlier but I didn't think he'd dare to write it that way. (Look ma, no spoilers!)

Now I need sleep. Zzzzz.

Hmm, I felt it could've done with another booksworth of writing.... :(
