From School Library Journal

Grade 6 Up–The loquacious djinni introduced in Amulet of Samarkand (2003) and Golems Eye (2004, both Hyperion/Miramax) is back, or, more accurately, he hasnt left in three years. While Bartimaeus retains all of his wit and wisdom, his essence suffers severely from lack of rest. Nathaniel, now Information Minister, spends his time writing propaganda to bolster the common folks belief that England is winning its foreign wars and tracking down traitors within the government. Kitty Jones has gone into hiding, apprenticing herself to a magician and learning enough from her master and through research to summon Bartimaeus herself. When Nathaniel finds Kitty, the two of them and the djinni must use all their strength and cunning to defeat the most dangerous demons they have yet encountered, demons that take over the bodies of the government magicians. Ptolemys Gate is an exciting and eminently satisfying conclusion to the trilogy, footnotes and all. This time, readers learn more about Bartimaeuss past and his connection to the loinclothed boy whose likeness he wears. Kittys strength and intelligence shine through, and Nathaniels inherent compassion emerges from the mask of John Mandrake. This is a must-have for libraries that purchased the first two books. For those that didnt, buy all three at once for readers who want something that is literate, entertaining, and exciting.–Lisa Prolman, Greenfield Public Library, MA

From AudioFile

An alternative London is divided between ruling magicians and oppressed commoners. Nathaniel is an apprentice magician who calls upon the 5000-year-old djinni Bartimaeus for assistance. Bartimaeus suffers Nathaniel's ineptitude with sardonic wit and wisecracks. Simon Jones is outstanding in this final book of the trilogy, expertly handling the sophisticated sarcasm of Jonathan Stroud's imaginative fantasy. Jones deftly takes us to the Other Place, helping listeners understand the djinni's essence. Questions about Bartimaeus's past are answered, and, by the end, Jones has created a worthy heroine in Kitty and a surer, more directed Nathaniel. All comes together in an absolutely satisfying conclusion, but not before chaos threatens everyone and everything. While reading the first two books isn't necessary, it is strongly recommended.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Excellent fantasy!!!, Nov. 8 2006
This review is from: Bartimaeus Trilogy, Book Three: Ptolemy's Gate (Hardcover)
You will love this book if you love fantasy and action. The three main characters are Kitty, Nathanial, and Bartimaeus. Each of them are fighting against eachother: Kitty for the commoners of London, Nathanial for the government and wizards, and Bartimaeus for the demons. The story is told from the perspective of all three of them, and therefore it is impossible to tell which one is the protagonist and which one is the antagonist though they are eachothers enimies because you understand where they are all comeing from and why they do the things they do. In this last book in the triligy, the three are forced to work together for the greater good of mankind. Its has a terribly exciting and unexpected climax that is tragic and happy at the same time. I loved this book!

(TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Bartimaeus Trilogy, Book Three: Ptolemy's Gate (Hardcover)
The third and final installment of the Bartimaeus Trilogy (*1) picks up three years after the "The Golem's Eye" with Nathaniel a.k.a. John Mandrake now the Information Minister, and spending his time making up propaganda pamphlets about the supposed successes of the war in America (*2) He has been increasingly mistreating Bartimaeus, not allowing him to return to the "other place" until his essence is so severely weakened that the puns stop flowing. (*3) Mandrake is now cold and unfeeling, totally absorbed in his work and his own self importance, and has few friends. In order to hang on to whatever little favor he has left with the Prime Minister, he maintains cordial relations with Quentin Makepeace, who has composed a must-see (*4) musical about the life of the Prime Minister.

Things aren't going so well for the government either, and the commoners are revolting. (*5) Some have learned to spot magical beings, and some have developed magical resistance, and this book sees the return of Kitty Jones, who is sneakily learning about the other world, and especially Bartimaeus' past. (*6) Through Kitty's research we learn the secret behind the whole Ptolemy thing, and get a look into Bartimaeus' domain.

When a sinister plot (*7) unleashes the most powerful beings who ever existed to wreak havoc and cause mass destruction, Mandrake, Kitty and Bartimaeus team up in ways none of the three would have before this thought possible, and using the magical artifacts from the first two books, they represent the last line of defense of the human race. After a heart-stopping and pulse-racing (*8) last quarter, the grand finale may not be to everyone's liking, but the redemption of Nathaniel more than makes up for it.

A bit lengthy and somewhat plodding at the start, but never-the-less a totally gratifying conclusion to a great series.



(*1) - Yes, yes - trilogies often mean three stories - get on with it!

(*2) - Mostly rubbish, I might add

(*3) - Egads!

(*4) - If you wanted to keep your job, that is

(*5) - Most of the magicians would agree whole heartedly

(*6) - Trust a woman to have an enquiring mind

(*7) - What other kind is there?

(*8) - Desirable yet unhealthy conditions I would think

5.0étoiles sur 5 The Bartimaeus Trilogy, Avril 6 2006
This review is from: Bartimaeus Trilogy, Book Three: Ptolemy's Gate (Hardcover)
The Bartimaeus Trilogy

This book takes place in London, but there is no date because it is a fantasy.
There are three main characters in this trilogy. First there is Kathleen Jones (a.k.a. Kitty), a relatively young girl who rebels against the government along with a group of criminals known as the Resistance. The second character is Nathanial ( a.k.a. John Mandrake) a young magician who was the apprentice of both Arthur Underwood and Jessica Whitwell, who were both magicians who worked in the government. The third main character is Bartimaeus (a.k.a. Rekhyt, Sakhr Al'Jinni and N'Gorso the Mighty) a demon from "The Other Place". In "The Other Place" there is no order and the spirits do whatever they choose.
In this book, there are many events, but only four are of any great significance. These four events are the theft of the Amulet of Samarkand, the theft of William Gladstone's staff, the finding of the inscription of the Golem, and the journey that Kitty makes to "The Other Place".
This book is a mix of genres. It is non-fiction, dramatic, historical and sort of funny. This book teaches you to depend on yourself more than on others. I think that this book is good for students in the middle school age group for this reason. It is also fairly complicated and uses a bit of bad language. Therefore, I would not recommend this book to anyone under eleven years of age. I would not make any changes to this amazing book.
