This book was all right. Barty was a bit annoying, but in that so-ugly-it's-cute kind of way, and I hated Nate and all the side characters; but the premise was seriously good. The writing, aside from the 1001 Unnecessary Footnotes Marathon, was mediocre, but entertaining.I would probably have read a...
Let me tell you I really enjoyed reading this book. My brother had convinced me to read it. And so here I am telling you I actually LIKED it!

Aunque es tremendamente entretenido en partes y tiene mi elemento favorito del momento (¡genios!), a veces la lectura es incómoda.

We downloaded book 2 as soon as we finished book 1. I know a book is good when it bleeds into real life. While walk...

He's exactly the sort of character I adore; arrogant, full of himself, sarcastic, witty, intelligent, cunning, ...
"The Amulet of Samarkand" was a fun, fantastical read, though I'll admit it took me a little while to get into the heart of the story. It starts off a bit sluggish in the beginning, but by the time I reached midway through the first part of the story, I was hooked. It toggles between the perspectiv...
