A review by jillsreadsbooks
The Bartimaeus Trilogy Boxed Set by Jonathan Stroud

5.0

I LOVE these books. I like them much better than Harry Potter. They are the perfect mix of action and humor and it's all really believable. I like how Stroud puts the magicians in with the humans ... they all have the same materials and resources except one can use magic ... and technically runs most of the world. I enjoyed the struggle through the last two books for "commoners" and magicians to find acceptance and also a way to live together. I loved the lessons of this book and the characters so much.
