Bartimaeus
Just got evening / night on the 4th Band of Bartimaeus read. As expected, a great book that the other volumes in no way inferior ... here is my personal opinion: is
After a long wait, finally, the fourth volume of the "Bartimaeus" series published and the shrewd Djinn presents itself so ill-tempered, insolent and sarcastic as ever. Even then, he exudes the same charm and his way made unnacharmliche talked about.
Bartimaeus works indirectly by the large King Solomon in Jerusalem, the Lord commanded a group of magicians, who in turn summoned several ghosts. All this owes Solomon, an extremely powerful magic ring, which all lie at your feet. After Bartimaeus is discarded by thanks to a magical artifact of his former master, and finally turned back to the other location, he believes finally in peace. He's wrong because shortly thereafter he is forced by the bad-tempered and nasty Egyptians Khaba back to Jerusalem and must now build under his command a temple for Solomon. Khaba that all the jinn and beings commands that are ever noticed bad or killed their masters, makes it difficult to work, but he would not Bartimaeus himself, if he does not bring to its unique way into trouble. Khaba then ends with the whole troop Djinn in the desert and are allowed to hunt bandits. Bartimaeus and his old friend Farqual save shortly afterwards a priest from the country Himjar and kill the bandits and their spirits. Bartimaeus immediately senses that the priest is not quite what it seems to be, after all, the girl can defend very well and is able itself to fight ghosts. Without knowing it, He has paved the way an assassin whose objective is to kill and bring Solomon to the ring itself. And shortly thereafter, the jinn forced the girl to help with their mission and found in an unspeakable mess again ...
"Bartimaeus 4" is just as exciting, funny and action packed as its predecessor. You can say, Bartimaeus was already as smart and foolhardy, and any fan Bartimaeus is the 4th Volume fell. Jonathan Stroud again creates sympathetic characters who alternate as before during the reporting. It is Bartimaeus As usual, the only one in "Footnotes talks" and breaks up with his funny comments between the scenes. Of course, Bartimaeus was already convinced of himself weird and it should be understood in order to get into trouble. In the beginning, missing a bit of a counterpart to him, Nathanael has taken in previous novels, but later Asmira blossomed as a worthy representative.
Total succeeds Jonathan Stroud a very charming, funny and good prologue to write his real Bartimaeus series, that is fun and wit and charm of the other Books in no way inferior. recommend!
I'm definitely excited and still a fan of this series. I have read that there'll be a graphic novel ... have to get straight times on the quest for it, because the book I would not want to miss.
Either way, I can recommend the band ... It's fun and exciting and fun to read.
