An Anonymous Child: Curses, I haden't heard of The Broken Bridge when I proclaimed I'd read everything but those Victorian novels. I will check it out one of these days.

Celine: Oh sweetie, I'm sorry! Here's a cookie; it'll make you feel better. :(

raych: It's a legitimate fear. Try Clockwork if you're going to branch out with Pullman - it's very dark in all the right ways.

heidenkind: Oh dear, don't deprive yourself of the rest of the Dark Materials trilogy!

Jeanne: Exactly.

I agree with you about his other books. Worth reading once, but not necessarily ones I remember much about.

I'm also not a big fan of Ruby in the Smoke. AT ALL. I have read the Golden Compass and that was pretty good. Haven't gotten to the rest of the series, though.

I've picked up Rat and put it down several times because I have The Apprehensions. I've only read the Dark Materials but I would like to have their children, and I'm afraid of EXACTLY THIS THING that you have here.

There's no Santa? Couldn't you have broken the news to me in a far less brutal manner?

I'm a fan of Pullman's "The Broken Bridge" as well. It's completely unexpected coming from the guy who wrote "His Dark Materials" ("The Golden Compass" remains one of my favorite book ever), but it's a nice little book about all this small drama. It just kind of comes out of the blue as a perfectly normal book.
