Ptolemy's Gate


By Jonathon Stroud

Reviewed By Cain D. of Year 7

Ptolemy’s gate is about a man who has control over several djinn (wizard like ghosts who can change shape and are not genies) and is the head of international affairs office in the wizard government in England. One particular djinni named Bartimaeus (bar-tee-may-us) who has been his slave/friend for several years. The main plot of the story is about a powerful magician who is experimenting on people by trying to force djinn into people’s souls. The powerful magician is mentioned in the book several times and is who you would least expect.

I advise reading the two previous books called the Golems Eye and the Amulet of Samarkand.I give this book 8 out of ten.
