When[edit]

Comment[edit]

The ending, in my own opinion, is nothing of a disappointment but rather a brilliantly combined one. 
 The death of Nathaniel might be predictable but the way how Mr. Stroud rearranged the timeline

in the end is relly superb, fits in with the plot and all. suggestion: read the book :)

I read the series and the ending was bitter-sweet. Although I was saddened by the death of one of the main characters, I still thought it was magnificient and loved the finally obviously seen compassion between Nat and Barty.

-i was actually really upset when it came to the end. I thought it was an amazing way to end the book, makes you wonder what happens to Bartimaeus afterwards though and how his feelings towards Nathaniel may have changed, even though it kind hints at it but still. Would be good if Jonathan Stroud did a book from Bartimaeus' veiw entirely. (hint hint)

You just told everyone the end thanks a lot! Now you've ruined it for me! -Sara

Synopsis section[edit]

The entire "Synopsis" section looks like an excerpt from a book review or the publisher's own summary that appears on the book jacket. Either way, it has no place in the article. I would delete it myself, but I would prefer to have comments. C. M. Harris ^{Talk to me} 01:20, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, it is taken from the jacket of the book. Someone should rewrite this section. 74.136.205.117 (talk) 03:42, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

American?[edit]

The summary states the book is American. Where does this information come from since rthe author was born, educated and lives in England?

I have been researching the various demons and I have found that all of them are in Arab mythology and may be found in A Thousand and One Nights.Belazael (talk) 03:17, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Setting[edit]

Edit by user 185.51.254.253 changes setting dates, with no reference, to info that contradicts wiki page on the second book in this trilogy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Golem%27s_Eye#Setting . This IP has quite a few reverted edits for vandalism, but obviously I can't assume that this is too. Is there any online reference available for this, or can a non-anonymous user stake their reputation on a correct date? In the interest of transparency I have recently edited the other article I reference, but I only re-worded it for clarity. Dichohecho (talk) 12:48, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
