Thanks to Humid Cedar for blogging about the second book in Jonathan Stroud’s Bartimaeus Trilogy, The Golem’s Eye. I had no idea the second volume was out! The first book in the trilogy, the Amulet of Samarkand, came out quite a while ago. I remember picking up an advance copy at ALA Toronto.

Here’s an excerpt which gives you an idea of the narrative style of Bartimaeus the Djinn. I always find his use of footnotes very entertaining.
