Re: Fantasy Books
His Dark Materials (Trilogy: Northern-Lights, The Subtle Knife, The Amber Spyglass) by Philip Pullman.
It's meant for kids, and God is portrayed as a satanic angel who took control of the universe by force and in the end becomes old and feeble, which might be a bit blasphemous to some, other than that it's a pretty good read.
PS. Northern Lights is called The Golden Compass in USA.
