I am so disappointed in Nathaniel. I really am. I just miss the little boy from the first book so much. I have a feeling that he's the necessary collateral damage from the society that he lives in, and I guess that I can understand that not all of the good guys stay good and vice versa, but I really am sad that it had to end in this way.

Well, not end, there is still one more book to go before the ending of this story, but the end of this particular one. I really don't know what is going to happen next, and somehow I don't even want to find out. Whan you get your hopes up this low, I really don't see how they can get back up. But, aside from my sligh negative feelings about Nathaniel, I still think that this is really a book worth reading.

Maybe it's not for little children, like I thought so for the first one, because it deals with slightly subtler and not-as-refined human emotions. I don't believe that this series could actually ever have a happily-ever-after by the fairy tale standards, I believe that the ending was as happy as it could get in the given time. And I have to say that Stroud really made a marvelous job when it comes to the subtlety in this book.

The story is fascinating. Searching for the golem's eye was very interesting from both Bartimaeus' and Kitty's point of view, and their struggles and their small meeting really left me feeling nice. I don't believe any book ever had that nice feeling attached to it. But still, it was pretty dampened by Nathaniel's behavior, because I got really attached to him in th first book. I only hope that everything will be resolved in the next one.
