The real treasure in these books is reading about the snarky demon Bartimaeus and his adventures with Nathaniel, his "master."

If you are a fan of Harry Potter and Artemis Fowl, this book may be a good choice for you. It is about a boy apprenticed to a magician, who longs to be more than his master thinks he is. Witty, cute, and easy to read. It's the first in a trilogy, I'm starting book 2 now.

A strange and wonderful synergy between a young magician and a djinni. An excellent book.

The narrator's voice was incredibly smarmy and arrogant. I understand this is the character's POV, but it was still very annoying. It seemed like the author reveled in their first person know it all narrator. I couldn't stand their voice and had to quit reading it. So just be warned for other readers who don't like books where the narrator bugs them!
