mars93 's review for:

The Amulet of Samarkand by Jonathan Stroud

1.0

---

Parts of this book were interesting, but it seemed like it just drug on and on. It was way too political for me. Plus it had so much magical jargon that I would have to reread parts to try to understand it. I did get tired of Bartimeaus' smug remarks, though some were funny. I had higher expectations for this book, but disliked it so much that I can't even force myself to read the rest of the trilogy.
