review:
one of the greatest books i've ever read. a true classic and definitely in a class all by itself. this book is so heavy and deep that it takes multiple reads and analysis to fully comprehend its true effect on you. it also takes on different meanings each and every time you read it. i love the story and the universal themes which exist in its core. if you want something that is utterly amazing just pick this up and get ready to blast off.

this is the one that i totally could not put down. Stroud has done a remarkable job at creating a character who is fun, funny, witty and entertaining. Bartimaeus the main character of the story is a djinn who is something special to read. i highly recommend this one. it grows on you and makes you want to read the whole series which is excellent by the way. i won't spoil any of it for you. just give it a shot you will not be disappointed. two thumbs up. both of mines left and right one.

a great fun read with a peculiar lead character who sits on the edge of being mythical. a fun and educational read which flows in two different paths like the characters and the plot. you will enjoy. just the kind of cerebral brain candy we all need to indulge in from time to time. M.

if you like horror, gore, sex and destruction then look no further than this. lee goes where few writers will go. a very disturbed individual who brings horror to horror writers. i loved it and it was a total accident that i even discovered this book. give it a try but be forewarned its not your typical horror fair its lee and he's sick and so will you be by the end. nothing is off limit or out of bounds for this guy.
