I enjoyed all three books in this series. Bartimaeus is certainly the star, much more interesting to me than Nathaniel. I love his footnotes.

Marilyn – Thanks for the link on Twisted Kingdom!

Kailana – Ah yes, that’s always the dilemma with starting the first book of a series…. ;)

Bellezza – I never would have considered The Screwtape Letters to be fantasy… that’s really strange. Now I’m really going to have to go back and read it and pretend that I don’t know it’s theology in order to see if I can think of it as fantasy…

I really need to put this book on a list because I have owned it forever and not read it yet… I must read it, but then I will have to buy two more… hm…

I bought the first 2 books in this trilogy for my brother for Christmas. And I got him the 3rd for his birthday. I full expect to get them back at some point in time!! Nice review!

I adore The Screwtape Letters; imagine my surprise when I discovered they are actually labelled as Fantasy! I thought they were theology. Anyway, your review intrigues me because C.S. Lewis is such an incredible writer and it’s interesting that this book makes you think of him.

Great review! I’ve been meaning to read this book. I’ve heard some good and some bad, but I have a feeling I’ll like this one. Thanks!

I have this one on my challenge list too, I was given the trilogy boxset recently as a gift. I’m looking forward to getting to it.

After reading this and a couple of the other reviews/posts about the book, I think I’m going to enjoy Bartimaeus’ character, he sounds fun.

I love that cover image too, very appealing.
