"I have forgotten just how funny Bartimaeus is and under all that bluff lies something that is really quite sweet. Were there that many footnotes in the original trilogy? Not that they weren't funny, but it slowed me down, reading it on the Kindle, which bothered me just a little. " — Qing (4 out of 5 stars)

" If you haven't read the other Bartamaus books, then I reccommend that you do. This is a read-alone book not related to the other series but using the same main character. He's delightfully funny and Jonathan Stroud is a master story teller. "
" It was fun to get more background on Bartimeaus, although I missed the rest of the main characters... Still, a great read, witty as ever. "
" This has all the wit and humour that made the original trilogy such a delight. Bartimaeus is possibly the best person narration I've ever come across. Let's hope there's more where this novel came from. "
