You know the one, the book they made the movie about a goat and some compasses. I bought a copy from a charity shop, and I'm persevering with it.

All I can see is why fundamentalist Christians wanted to ban the movie sine it's a rant against Christianity. There seems to be an odd theme about puberty and castration running at least through the first book of the trilogy, too.

I tend to finish books I start, but is this one worth it? Don't spoil the rather turgid plot, I might eventually enjoy it, but is it worth the effort?
