Bartimaeus, the droll, smart-mouthed irreverent djinni is being kept in this world by Nathaniel, the protagonist, too long. Long enough to make Bartimaeus weaker and less effective. In this final book of the trilogy the two push their relationship to the limit as Nathaniel, as his master, uses his control of the djinni to keep his hold on power as part of the group of magicians who now control the British government. Fantastical magical battles between humans, magicians and beings from the Other Place filled with imagination and detail will satisfy fans of this genre. The story expands the connection between Nathaniel and Kitty, a major player in the underground resistance movement. Readers will also be entertained, as in the first 2 books, by Bartimaeus' many humorous references to ancient history as he claims to be a major player influencing positive outcomes for countless masters throughout time. The story develops into a conflict potentially far more devastating than any that humans could devise. Nathaniel, Bartimaeus and Kitty are the central figures in a fight for something greater than any of them could have imagined. To really understand it read the first two books of the trilogy first.Read full review
I love the bartimaeus Trilogy as a whole. They are well written and they are very entertaining. The footnotes are hilarious! On a recent road trip my whole family listened to them as we drove, and thouroughly enjoyed the Them! The actor who readss them does a really good job portraying the book, and his voice is easy to listen to. (Note: One of my pet peeves is Audio books who's actors have grating or annoying voices)
You realy should read the frist two books. I love how Jonathan Stroud reads. He is as good as Jim Dale. I brought this Audio Book because I brought Book 1 in Audio Book and Book form. I love to read along with the Audio Book. I get more out of it. I realy like book 3. It keep me reading trying to fine out what happens next. I had a hard time putting this down. The end was a little sad. But you will want to read this over and over.
