Ptolemy's Gate (The Bartimaeus Trilogy, Book 3)

ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I HAVE EVER READ
I finished this book about 30 minutes ago and the ending is so powerful I sort of needed to recover from it. This trilogy is amazing and so well told it should not be missed. When the main character encountered his boyhood art teacher and was shown what he had become I felt an intense sadness for him. In a sense the entire series leads to that one moment which then starts Nathaniel's ...

Incredible!
The Bartimaeus books are action packed fantasy novels whose main protagonists are a young wizard and his demon servant who he summons at the beginning of the first book to steal a magical amulet. The demon, whose name is Bartimaeus at first is not content with being the servant of a young boy but as the books go on you can see a bond forming between the two. The trilogy is masterfully ...

Wonderfully creative and absolutely humorous
To my pleasure, I have finally been able to read the next book in The Bartimaeus Trilogy. Sequels are often a disappointment, but The Golem's Eye succeeds where others have failed. In the last book, twelve-year-old Nathanial was forced from his parents and raised by a low-class wizard named Arthur Underwood, who treated the boy with distain. After secretly growing in knowledge--so not to be ...

The Ring of Solomon: A Bartimaeus Novel
Jonathan Stroud

Hyperion Book CH, 2010

Bartimaeus, everyone?s favorite (wise-cracking) djinni, is back in book four of this best-selling series. As alluded to in the footnotes throughout the series, Bartimaeus has served hundreds of magicians during his 5,010 year career. Now, for the first time, fans will go back in time with the djinni, to Jerusalem and the court of King Solomon in 950s BC. Only in this adventure, it seems the great Bartimaeus has finally met his match. He?ll have ...

Very well written & highly enjoyable!
This book can be a little off-putting due to the brand of magic that it creates. It is definitely darker than some of the other popular series and I would be hesitant recommending it for younger children. However, for young adults (and adults of all ages), it is an extremely enjoyable story. What I most enjoyed was the incredibly dry wit of Bartimaeus, and while some have critiqued the ...

Super adventure
This is the middle of an outstanding trilogy. The text by Mr Stroud is rich and funny but the voice acting by Simon Jones makes the whole experience outstanding. This is British humor with a British accent. Thank you

This book is the best of all three
In my review of the second book, I said "Sequels are often a disappointment, but The Golem's Eye succeeds where others have failed." That statement is even more fitting for this third and final installment. I will go so far as to say that this book is the best of all three. So far in the series, twelve-year-old Nathanial went from being raised by a petty and unloving wizard to defeating ...

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! (did I mention I liked it?)
I have always preferred "real" books to audio books, until now that is. Simon Jones perfectly captures the characters in this book (especially Bartimaeus). The story is wonderful and well-written. My sons and I listened to the Amulet of Samarkand on tape and knew we had to have this one as well. I hope the third one comes soon!!!!!

He's rude. He's surly. He won't hesitate to tell you when your haircut looks stupid. And in over 5000 years, he's seen some bad haircuts. I'm talking about my favorite djinni, Bartimaeus, back in book two of his young adult fantasy trilogy. THE GOLEM'S EYE is an excellent sequel to the first book in the series, The Amulet of Samarkand (The Bartimaeus Trilogy, Book 1). In the first book, we ...

Jesus and the Blind Man
Pete Lounsbury

Lifevest Publishing, Inc., 2007

Taken directly from the pages of the Bible, Mark 10:46-52, this account of Jesus and Bartimaeus, the blind man, teaches children not to hold back in prayer. It shows the value of zealously searching for God. In fact God requires that we passionately seek Him. The book is about 45 pages in full color, designed to dazzle and hold the child's attention while he is being taught about Jesus's love. The characters are likeable and friendly. A good ...

Back to basics musical
We heard this musical at a conference, and loved it. It doesn't have gimmicks or pop-culture tie ins; it just tells a story from the Bible in a fresh, fun, heartwarming way. I love the director's book because it big, with large print and a full score that is readable. Songs on the CD are very singable - your kids should be able to do a great job with this musical.

Three years have passed since the magician Nathaniel helped prevent a cataclysmic attack on London. Now an established member of the British Government, he faces unprecedented problems: foreign wars are going badly, Britain's enemies are mounting attacks close to London; and rebellion is fermenting among the commoners. Increasingly imperious and distracted, Nathaniel is treating Bartimaeus worse than ever. The long-suffering djinni is growing ...
