The only similarity between Northern Lights and Narnia is that children cross into different worlds. If it a lampoon to write a story vastly superior both in technique and content on that hypothesis then so be it. In any case I sense the approach of off-topic skwerls...

That's simply one article of many about Phillip Pullman and the views which he tries to impart in his stories. I find him to be "less than nice". Many "less than nice" people have talents but that fact doesn't make them better people. I'd rather not support him (or others like them) with royalties from my pocket, however small, and hope that others follow suit.
There are a lot of good stories out there which aren't written by uppity iconoclasts.
