Totally agree with the review - It is quite different from Harry Potter and a lot of seem-alikes that its popularity spawned. The books are really enjoyable - remember going through 3of them in about 3days!Plus cant help but adore its rude, overbearing djinni Bartimaeus and his love -hate relationship with Nathaniel.Moushumi - Rainbows and Cloudburstshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12953308757016821770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34311728.post-28786111825021445042010-08-19T18:40:29.116-07:002010-08-19T18:40:29.116-07:00Me too Nish.

It is easy to fall in love with Bartimaeus.<br /><br />Vee - Every fantasy fiction winds up being compared to HP and LOTR, which is ridiculous. HP is more like Enid Blyton meets magic, LOTR is like - well - grandfather of them all, no one can ever touch 'em. Padh ke dekhna, its FANtastic.Avahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17274222598587327676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34311728.post-72613811722841032412010-08-12T02:33:30.825-07:002010-08-12T02:33:30.825-07:00While reading the post I had question in mind whet...While reading the post I had question in mind whether it is something like LOTR and HP series which of course I saw you have mentioned in the end. LOTR I enjoyed a lot and still read couple of pages now n then. HP I liked the book but not enjoyed it much. This one I think I can give it a go. <br /><br />Honestly, Books you have recommended have never failed my expectations. Kafka on shore and Sea of Poppies to cite. Thanks.

On an unrelated note, I was browsing the shelves in my library and not really finding anything interesting when I spotted the Mary Bennett book by McCullough. One thing led to another and I brought it home :S I wish I could do a search and replace for Fitz before I even start reading it!!couchpapayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07975268418221809396noreply@blogger.com
