I read that before it became overly popular

I didn't even know about it until the fourth book came out so I didn't have the chance to XD

Oh wow. I read them before the movies came out

I was able to do that at least. The movies were...kind of good but didn't really compare to the books.

The Harry Potter books are good. <3

If a young adult book is popular, I may want to read it for curiosity's sake just to see what it is like.

Amber Spyglass was pretty good too, though the end kind of made me sad...

Never heard of it.

I thought it was a pretty good set of books. The movie they made for it kind of failed though...

Hmmm that's cool. sucks about the movie though

Yea, it is too bad. It could have been good but it didn't follow the book enough.

Ahhhh that sucks. I hate it when movies do that

Yea, it kind of just went off on it's own strange tangent.

That's really weird!

I didn't like the His Dark Materials books that much -- especially the last third of the Amber Spyglass.

The problem with the movie -- the Golden Compass -- was that it only covered the first book. That was not all that good a place to stop the trilogy's continuous story.

That sounds odd. I've meant to read the golden compass... but i never have.

I still liked them. The ending was REALLY sad in my eyes though.
