Ptolemy's Gate:
Phenomenal read! Very, very easy to get through. Superbly written. Kind of like an evil version of the Harry Potter world... except, well, not. I loved it. Proof that not all must be roses and fluff to be wonderful and magic! This book was part of a series that I just couldn't put down. Highly recommended when you want something entertaining and consuming with lots of Djinn.
In a Minds Eye:
A beautiful writen book. Any Harry Potter fan would enjoy this, it's high time this series is made into a film.
Great Ending to an Excellent Series:
I think the Batimaeus Trilogy is one of the most original series for kids and Ptolemy's Gate is an outstanding conclusion to the trilogy. Stroud is a creative writer who pushes this book to the limits and delivers an unexpected but wonderful ending. It always amazes me when such a complex story is able to wind up so many plots in such a smooth and seamless way. This is a great book and one of the best conclusions to any series. Enjoy!
Excellent:
I bought this as a gift for my daughter's boyfriend. He had let me borrow the first 2 books in the series which he had read. I was hooked so I ended up reading this one before I gave it to him. My daughter then read the series and she also loved them. It's a great series!
A great end to an amazing series:
I will admit to not having read this book in a little while, but I have read it multiple times because of how much I liked it. The whole book struck me as a bit sad as the trilogy came to a close and the problems that the characters were facing did as well. Stroud's narative was as ingenious in this book as it was in the first as it switched back and forth between three very different personalities. Bartimaeus did a good job of lightening up what could have otherwise been an overly serious story. His characters continued to grow and I felt that they had gotten much farther along as individuals by the end. I thought that this was an entertaining original book that gripped and surprised me long after the last page was turned.
