Review
Johnathon Strouds "Bartimaeus Trilogy" is about a young magician named Nathaniel he somehow feels that he could out-do any other magician even the Senior MAGICIANSZ! when really he's barely started school. Now these magicians are different they dont just "have power!" "ABRAKA-FRIKKEN-DABRA!".
NO.
They use magical creatures to help them. Once these magical creatures are summoned...They are slaves to the magician who summoned them until the magician feels he has no more doings for the djinni. Bartimaeus is the djinni that Nathaniel summons one day because he seeks revenge, revenge over a certain magician he feels he can outwit. Nathaniel & Bartimaues face everything together and along the way they come across someone unexpected: A Commoner. watch Stroud's fascinating tail of magic and espionage spin together to make the most realistically fascinating book i've read.
The book was was beautiful, well written with wry, witty, sarcasm that makes me fall in loooove with Bartimaues. when you get the book, you will find footnotes in certain chapters. These footnotes are only present when Bartimaeus is narrating. He is a wonderful narator and i love his sense of humor. The footnotes will have you rolling on the floor lauphing. & when u sit back down on your seat you will be on edge because if your not lauphing yous being shocked, suprised, or just simply thrilled. The whole 3 books are wonderful. its not one of those trilogies were the author gets sick of their own book and loses enthusiasm so the books lose spark as the books go on, but rather they get better and better!! its a wonderful series and...
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
I was strolling down the 10 foot long shelving of best sellers and crappy [[never-looked-at-twice]] books WHEN, all of a sudden something shiny caught my eye. [[i kno it sounds cliche` but Hey! its true...the cover was smooth and colorful and shiny]] so i see this book i've been DYING to read [[Artemis Fowl]] and all of a sudden pershed right next to it are 3 extremely GORGEOUS BOOKSZ! i bent over picked it up and read the back....intriguing as it was i only bought it because my private book wasnt there and they desperately lacked the proper materials fr me to walk around content so i strolled off with the book and bribed peter 2 buy it for me [[i would be silent for the rest of the day]] of course like "all" booksz there were some parts that i had to put the book down and re-adjust before starting over....but there is no perfect book an this book is pretty DAMN close!! =D
