I am 2/3 of the way through the trilogy. Just bought the Amber Spyglass so should have that read by week-end.
I discovered in the book shop today that, Like Harry Potter, the books have Adult and Childrens covers. I like the childrens ones better so I am sticking with them:-) What I also discovered though was that, again like Harry Potter, the first book had 2 titles. It was Northern Lights in the UK and The golden Compass in the US.
Anybody know why? Or care to hazard a guess? Or care at all?
