These books are amazing. Each character really has a different personality.

He wrote another thing about a dragon hidden under a hill but i don't remember what it is called.
Does anyone know of any other books he's written?

Post GREAT SERIES
I love the bartimeus trilogy, there are so many twists in there it isn't even funny. Ptolmy's gate was nearly the perfect way to end the series, I couldnt guess what would happen yet, but the end of it pissed me off:( IF YOU HAVENT READ IT YET YOU NEED TO DO SO NOWWWW!!!


VERY WICKED

I'd love a world with magic
and i know 9/11
but it would be different
there wouldn't be bombs
but magic
and magic is on all sides
it works differently
its fairer than a scientist coming along
and inventing something to kill people with
like the nuclear bomb

Are you kidding? I've wished that for a long time. The series was REALLY good, except the end made me cry. Nathaniel was just getting decent, and then...yeah. I felt really bad for Kitty in the end, too. But it's still a really good series. Anyone who hasn't read them, READ THEM!

They're about this guy named Nathaniel who becomes a magician. See, the magicians are like the government. It's also about a girl named Kitty, who is part of a team of rebels against the magicians and their right to rule. The covers ARE scary, and the books are a little scary too, but they're really good anyway.

Oh my gosh!

The Bartimaeus trilogy has got to be the best series in the world! Yes thats right, they're even as good..or better as Harry Potter, the Inheritance trilogy and lord of the rings. Now thats saying something forme and I'm sure for many people that would be hard to believe. But there ya go.

The movie should be great. However it has a lot of exceptions to complete. The series is one of the best teenager book series that is out there. Right now they're saying 2009 for a release date.

I can't wait for the movie - hopefully it will be good and not a cartoon movie. I hope there more bartimaeus books.

Post Re: Bartimaeus trilogy amulet of samarkand- ptolomys gate
Ok, thank goodness! I finally found a topic on this! :D

I have been seeing these books around and I heard that they were making a movie of it and I heard that they were doing well in the book selling world, but I needed real opinions from people who like fantasy kind of things.

So, I've been debating about whether or not to read these books and I was wondering if they were any good, because I am very picky about what I read.

For example: Inheart and Inkspell. A lot of people loved these books. I hated them!!!! I read the first one (finally got through it) and then I started reading the second one but got so bored with it that I stopped.

So my question is will I be disappointed in this series if I read them? Are they any good? And what are they about? (Just don't give any spoilers) :D
