Publisher Description

Two years have passed since young apprentice magician Nathaniel became famous by foiling the ruthless Simon Lovelace. Now 14, Nathaniel is ambitiously climbing the ranks of the magicians' government. The Prime Minister himself has placed Nathaniel in charge of capturing the Resistance, a group of unruly commoners working to undermine the magicians' empire. But after several failed attempts, Nathaniel is forced to admit he can't do it alone. With his career on the line, he reluctantly summons his only hope for success, the 5,000-year-old wise-cracking djinni Bartimaeus.

The duo is reunited just in time: the Resistance is growing more audacious than ever. And to make matters worse, a seemingly invulnerable clay golem is wreaking destruction throughout London, sending the entire city into pandemonium. With time running out, the young magician and his uncontrollable djinni must find the source of the golem's power, a task they quickly learn will involve much more than they ever anticipated.

In the ensuing chaos, Nathaniel and Bartimaeus will be chased through the streets of Prague, hunt a dancing skeleton across London's skyline, encounter the horror of the dreaded Night Police, and meet a surprising new ally. Together, these three will have to go head-to-head with the fearsome golem before the mysterious identity of its master is finally revealed.

"Buku ini adalah sekuel dari The Amulet of Samarkand, di sini bertambah lagi POV dari sudut pandang commoner yaitu Kitty, peranan Kitty cukup dominan di buku kedua TBT. Buku ini cenderung lebih rumit dalam hal plot, tapi yang saya suka dalam trilogi ini adalah Jonathan Stroud berani tampil beda dengan menampilkan tokoh heroes yang anti hero (negatif), dalam artian karakter utama yang sifatnya jelek, Barty & Nath bukanlah tipe pahlawan yang umum macam jujur, baik hati, keren dan pemberani. Nath cenderung kasar dan kejam, penampilannya juga berantakan jauh dari kesan keren sedangkan Barti, aha saya no comment tentang jin ini, selain daripada jin gokil yang kadang suka bikin kesal manusia maupun jin lain lain gara-gara lidahnya itu."

    " This second book is every bit as good as the first, maybe even better. We still have the sarcastic and uneasy relationship between the magician Nathaniel/John and djinni Bartimaeus, but we also meet Kitty Jones, a feisty commoner fighting about the magicians' monopoly of power. Where John is manipulative, controlling, self-preserving, distrustful, and power-hungry, Kitty is idealistic, rebellious, impulsive, brave, and honorable. Through a conversation with the djinni, Kitty disables the golem that's terrorizing London and saves John's life. "

    " the characters develop more and the plot thickens. Still lots of questions remain for Book #3. Interesting how flawed all of the main characters are, but the author helps you understand them in a way that makes you care about them. "
