skc73 's review for:

The Amulet of Samarkand by Jonathan Stroud
5.0

This was a pleasant surprise. It's been sitting on my shelf as one of those books I should read so I know the field. I didn't think much of it. On reading I discovered a well-written, well-structured book that exceeded all expectations. It has everything you want in a 19th C. demon book. Good writing, complex characters, and big set pieces that make you go "oo."
