From the LA Weekly review of The Golden Compass:

Calling the Narnia cycle “one of the most ugly and poisonous things I’ve ever read,” the avowed atheist set out to slyly dissemble much of that series’ embedded dogma with his story of a girl’s quest to free children from their zombie-like servitude to quasi-Christian, sin-obsessed authority.

"Dissemble"? Doesn't the author of Compass think it's Narnia that dissembles?
