The Amulet Of Samarkand, By: Jonathan Stroud

     This story is awesome, I can't tell you enough how good this story is. It was introduced to me by a friend at it is one of the best books I have ever read.

     This story starts as a big summoning for a young magician named Nathaniel, he tries and succeeds to summon a 5,000 year old djinni to help him do something, like steal a amulet from one of the most powerful magicians in London named Lovelace. The djinni, Bartimaeus, does that with little difficultly, but he then learns his birth name(So the djinni can send back anything that Nathaniel tries to him) Nathaniel thinks that Lovelace is up to something, but Bartimaeus gets caught, and imprisoned, and Nathaniel has to go to parliament, for the magicians, and a bomb goes off, very bad stuff. Then Bartimaeus escapes from the help of Lovelace's djinnis, but he doesn't tell them anything. Then Lovelace goes looking for his amulet, and it's in Nathaniel's master's house, so... his master dies from Lovelace's explosion of anger. Everything is going badly for Nathaniel, and he doesn't know what will happen next.

     A powerful moment was when Nathaniel had a moment when he was caught, and didn't know what to do, and that was powerful because I feel that way all the time, minus the caught part. I liked this book because of its unpredictability, you don't really know what will happen next. And I loved the characters, and how the story moves. I think that you, as a reader, would like this kind of story. And I would totally recommend this book, because of the reasons I like it.

Well that was my review, I hope you now go and read, The Amulet Of Samarkand, because it's a sweet book.
