Reviews

Bartimaeus' razor-sharp wit is as irresistible as ever and this is a fantastic conclusion to the series

—— The Bookseller

There are many delights to savour in this series. First and foremost, the wonderful, sardonic voice of the all-knowing and all-weary Bartimaeus

—— Independent

As witty and orginal as the first two books in the series, Ptolemy's Gate is fast, funny, inspired writing for children at its best

—— Publishing News

Stroud demonstrates here that what and how he writes should never be taken for granted

—— TES

The return of one of my favourite ever characters . . . Completes the brilliant Bartimaeus trilogy

—— Publishing News

Jonathan Stroud goes from strength to strength . . . Dramatic tension and coruscating wit never falter

—— The Bookseller
