Nathaniel, a magician's apprentice, summons up the djinni Bartimaeus and instructs him to steal the Amulet of Samarkand from the powerful magician Simon Lovelace.
A fun book, very imaginative, with lots of great ideas and a comprehensive, thoughtfully populated world.
This one felt less like a complete story than the 0.5 one ([b:The Ring of Solomon|7640705|The Ring of Solomon (Bartimaeus, #0.5)|Jonathan Stroud|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1348894736l/7640705.SX50.jpg|10170311]), but was still fun, still lovely characters, enjoyable adventure, the lot. I am curious now, though, about things that were referenced in this book but not resolved.
For an audience a little too young for me (12~ year olds).
