Has there been anything about Pullman's reaction to the negative reviews/feedback on The Rose Field? I'd be interested to know whether he gives a shit that so much of his dedicated fan base hated it and is quite angry at him about a lot of it.

Just finished TRF and was as disappointed as everyone else here seems to be. I love HDM and LBS though (TSC was alright) and I'm wondering if it's worth reading any of Pullman's other books. Opinions?

Am I the only one who thought that the alkahest would turn out to be the subtle knife when it was first referred to as the “universal solvent/destroyer of bonds”?
