I couldn't stop with just the Amulet of Samarkand, so I have continued to listen with pleasure to the story of Bartimaeus, the djinni with an attitude and his now 14 year old master Nathaniel. We now get the full story of Kitty, a spunky commoner who has joined the resistance to fight the powerful magicians. Another lively demon in this story has taken over the bones of the famous magician leader Gladstone. Some of the action leaves London and takes place in Prague. Nathaniel started grating on my nerves, but Bartimaeus continued to delight. Can't wait for the third book - turns out that is has only just come out, so I had to order it at the Talking Book World.
