@Deepa: The third book (stating the obvious here) is where the storyline really clicks through. Barty is grouchy, so he is at his best. And we get a lot of explanation/story of Ptolemy. @Kanjisheik: Footnotes and asides... Bartimaeus is truly a wonder ;) Haven't heard of Sumit Basu. Can you give me names of his books you like?

Bartmeius's sense of humour is devastating. I enjoyed Samit Basu's books a lot, but they simply pale in comparison to this trilogy. Barty rocks! :~)

Yep. Bartimaeus is a favourite in our home. My daughter and I like the books. My husband hasn't tried them yet. I haven't read Book 3 yet.
