Book Review of The Amulet of Samarkand (The Bartimaeus Trilogy, Bk 1)

The Amulet of Samarkand (The Bartimaeus Trilogy, Bk 1)
reviewed on


This book is told from two points of view, depending on the chapter. The two main characters, Bartimaeus (a demon) and Nathaniel (human), foil each other. Bartimaeus is comical while Nathaniel is serious. With Nathaniel's need for revenge, Bartimaeus is summoned to help Nathaniel get his revenge.
