Bartimaeus !!!
I finished reading Bartimaeus Trilogy. It’s a series of 3 books which has got everything. Its an ideal fantacy series.
The plot mainly involves Nathaniel (John Mandrake) - a magician boy, Bartimaeus - a 4th level djinni and Kitty Jones - a commoner. Without doubt Bartimaeus steals the show with his witty humor and timely cracked jokes.
This is my view about the characters :
1) Bartimaeus - He is a 4th level djinni and the best character in the book (according to me). He is roughly 5,000 year old djinni. He thinks as fast as a super computer and his knowledge about the mgicians and their histroy is marvellous. He fought most of the great wars and did service to some great magicians. Here he is slave to Nathaniel, the magician boy. The conversation between Nathaniel and Bartimaeus is the most humorous one.
2) Nathaniel (John Mandrake) - Nathaniel is the birth name of magician. And every magician keep their birth name secret so as to remain safe from some kind of summoning (I quiet like this funda, wish I could have had a secret name too :)). Nathaniel is known as John Madrake in the magician's community.The story starts with a 11 year old Nathaniel. I don’t know why authors are obsessed with kids so much, the main character is always a kid in his teens, take Harry Potter, take Eragon and now Nathaniel. I found Nat's character a challenging one, as per the book. He is eager to gain more power and wants to be good in everyones eyes. He is thorne for most of the ministers and they try to overcome him and here the story gets interesting.
3) Kitty Jones - I feel this character has played significant role in the book. Though she is a commoner (like muggles in harry potter), she proves that commoners can also perfom magic. She is a strong character and has a high will power. She want to show the true face of magicians to the world. She fights against the magicians, against Mandrake. But still she saves Mandrakes life.
Do read Bartimaeus if u like reading humor, if u like reading nice strong plot.
Though I like Harry Potter better than any other books Bartimaeus has its own charm, and simply the best fantacy books I can say.
I will write Bartimaeus Vs. Harry Potter (comparison between the two novels shortly, I will need ur reviews for that so please read them all).
