teashell 's review for:
The Amulet of Samarkand
by Jonathan Stroud
I will start by saying that the series as a whole is worth reading. But man, I really had to convince myself to continue. Bartimaeus is an awesome character, and I kept reading mostly to follow his exploits. Nathaniel is a little sh** and I really didn't care much about him. Fortunately the plot in which Nathaniel is embroiled in this book is interesting, even though Nathaniel's fate didn't hold my attention. I honestly wasn't sure I was going to read the next one.
I did read the next one, however, and it paid off (more in another review). Jonathan Stroud is a good author; I think perhaps he made Nathaniel too well, because I sure loathed him! I can only imagine that he started Nathaniel at the bottom to give him somewhere to go . . . and he does get there.
