I wasn't expecting to enjoy this book as much as I did. Professor Reid said he loved this book, loved the djinn and wasn't a fan of the boy. I totally didn't expect to feel the same--but I did.
Bartimaeus is hilarious, and the way in which Stroud uses his voice to break the monotonous/average tale really changes the dynamics of the story.
You have to root for the irritating boy, but only because of the link he shares with his summoned slave--who you really enjoy hearing from.
Action-packed, suspenseful, and entertaining to say the least--I can't wait to delve into the second book!!!
