I just finished the first one and liked it alot. Bartimaeus is indeed very funny. I'm looking forward to the next 2 books...

I liked the first one because Kitty didn't have her own chapter things until the second. The end of the third one was awesome. Very sad but still awesome.

I totally LOVE the Bartimaeus Trilogy!!! Deffinately on my top ten list. For anyone who cares, Bartimaeus himself provided a great deal of the inspiration for Tannar's charactor (Myth, go figure!). :-)

Ah, I did say he reminded me of someone :wink:

Has anyone else read his other works such as The Leap, Buried Fire or The Last Siege?

i totally agree with the fact that the book was great, i totally agree that it was hilarious, and i totally agree that there should be more books coming out (or a sub-series at least!)
