Bartimaeus: Ptolemy's Gate

[mzteris]

The third book is out! My son bought it for me a couple of days ago as I've been put on bedrest due to pneumonia. (ok ok - so I'm on the 'puter for a bit. Whaddya expect? Cold turkey?)

For those who don't know - this series is (sortof) about what Harry Potter might have been like if his Uncle had taught him magic and he'd never had Hogwarts, Dumbledore, and his friends. Except there are djinni's who actually "do the magic".
