The series contains three main books -

  • The Amulet of Samarkand
  • The Golem’s Eye
  • Ptolemy’s Gate

This was recommended by one of my neighbors. It was a treat to read. I loved the first book the most. It was thrilling and un-putdownable. I would recommend this to anyone who likes the Harry Potter series. I like Harry Potter but I like this much better. Bartimaeus is unforgettable as are his cynical and often humorous comments on humans. This is the first fiction book that I read where the footnotes are sometimes more interesting than the main page. The footnotes are notes on what Bartimaeus thinks. One begins to love the magic world and London after reading the novel.
