telthor 's review for:
The Amulet of Samarkand
by Jonathan Stroud
Three and a half. Also I'm very tired and this will be short.
Enjoyable, fast paced, really a terrifically fun read, but also somehow distracted. Partly because it couldn't decide if it was a first or third person book, partly because it blitzed between perspectives without really letting the reader understand either--Nathaniel's chapters were a bit stronger than Bartimaeus's, as the djinni's chapters are really just endless snark.
But if you turn your brain off, it's a pretty fun ride.
