I know my husband would agree with the OP. I'm trying hard to stick with His Dark Materials given one of my sons told me the trilogy was far far better than Harry Potter, but he was about 12 at the time. I was a bit bored by it last night so was on my lap top simultaneously therefore didn't really keep up, I would like a daemon though, preferably feeline that snow leopard in the first episode would do nicely.
I fell asleep in the second part of War of the Worlds, I went to see the Tom Cruise version a few years ago, but this one it seems is true to the H G Wells book set it in Woking of the Edwardian era, so far removed from the concrete reality of today. Poor Woking first it gets invaded by aliens and then it gets invaded by Prince Andrew and entourage, allegedly! What's the place done to deserve such a double horror
