review 1: So good! If you're in anyway a baby when it comes to scary books, and I am, read only during daylight hours as this middle grade book really has some scares. Also, I realized when reading it, how refreshing it is to not have a book be about romance. The characters are fully re...

review 1: Die Trilogie um Bartimäus, Nathanael und Kitty von Jonathan Stroud gehört zu meinen Fantasyfavoriten der letzten Jahre. Jetzt hat Lee Sullivan den ersten Band, Das Amulett von Samarkand, als Comic, genauer und besser als graphic novel, umgesetzt. Ich war zunächst skeptisch, ob si...

review 1: Fantastically original, fast paced and a hugely entertaining read. I pre-read this title before sharing it with my 8 year old son and am glad I did. Most of the reader recommendations put this book in the target range of grades 4-7, and though Stroud manages to nicely skirt mos...

review 1: (4.5 Stairs)Quite a scary read. The plot of the story was very good, with plenty of mystery. The characters were also very enjoyable. They were the sort that I always wanted to know what they would do or think next. The book was really broken up into two separate stories: an intr...

review 1: Set slightly in the future, ghosts, or Visitors as they are over-kindly called, have overtaken London for the last fifty years. It is only children who can sense them enough to deal with them. Kind of a Ghost-Busters twist. Great for kids because who doesn't want to believe th...

review 1: Great glimpse into Bartimaeus's old life. His narration was wonderful as usual and seeing this darker, Ptolemy-less Bartimaeus was an interesting contrast, as all the previous iterations had already been highly influenced by the boy magician. Although Bartimaeus does seem to alre...

review 1: Honestly I could read whole libraries just of books about Bartimaeus being himself. Every time I pick up one of these books I fall head-over-heels again for his sarcasm, wit, and love-hate relationships with humans. Give me a million, a billion pages of Bartimaeus insisting he ha...

review 1: I was torn about how to rate this book. On the one hand I went into it with very specific expectations and none of those were met. You see, I had read all of Mr. Stroud's fantastic Bartimaeus books and came into this book with the expectation that something similar would be in ...
