I liked this novel better for the lack of footnotes.
However, the kid was an arrogant brat and even though that was deliberate on the part of the author [it IS about Bartimaeus after all], it didn't feel right. Kitty redeemed it somewhat.
Everything seemed very rushed at the end however. And it seemed messy. Or really, way to neat! It felt like a big pair of scissors came down and "cut" the ending to match some preformed pattern.
