Critics Review

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

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 *
