I've read LOTR, I was comparing "His Dark Materials" by Phillip Pulham (sic) to CS Lewis - because Pulman is quite explicit that his book is an opposite of Narnia...
Tolkien didnt have a great deal of religion in his work, although most readers cannot help but see Mordor as Nazi Germany; I agree that LOTR is not just a children's book, it is a book that is best read at 14 but can still be enjoyed as an adult.
What I was asking was "Is "His Dark Materials" a genuine equal of LOTR, or is it just a smarter version of Harry Potter"??
