spellacl 's review for:

The Amulet of Samarkand by Jonathan Stroud
5.0

Bartimaeus is brilliant!

This is a book I forgot I read before! I have no idea how I forgot. Bartimaeus is a grand, sarcastic, put upon djinni who has to deal with the his "master" 12-year old Nathaniel making terrible decisions at every turn.

Simon Jones did really good acting with the voices :D looking forward to the next one.

Magic in an alternative version of London, with magicians in Parliament and a distain for commoners that is nearly offensive to the poor reader. Loved it!
