Since the publication of "Northern Lights" or "The Golden Compass" in the USA in 1995, 18 years have passed since I write this.
In those years, many things have changed. First of all, the original series is now completed.
Secondly, Pullman has written a few spin-off stories.
Thirdly, the world is still waiting for "The Book of Dust", which he is now writing for about 8 years.
Fourthly, "Northern Lights" is now a film titled "The Golden Compass" - and unfortunately, the other two books won't be shown on the big screen because in the USA there were not many good reaction to the film.
And fifthly, we can easily that "Northern Lights" is one of the most modern classics. It really is a book which will endure…

And fifthly, we can easily that "Northern Lights" is one of the most modern classics. It really is a book which will endure the Tooth of Time. Now, millions of copies have been sold and dozens of publications are released.
In my opinion: if you haven't read this book, you have missed something extraordinary good, and you don't know real fantasy.
Because for me, "His Dark Materials" is a synonym for fantasy.
