But we do get to revisit him. Which is good. I'm sure you know who I'm talking about. But just in case you don't, Bartimaeus is a sarcastic, wisecracking djinni and the star of a wonderful and best-selling series by Jonathan Stroud. Whilst tied to various enslaving magicians, Bartimaeus has had a finger in many pies of world history, particularly that of London. In fact, he's saved the day almost as many times as Doctor Who has. But Bartimaeus is no Doctor Who. He's a rude, sarcastic egomaniac and unselfish behaviour isn't his byword. But he cracks an irresistible one liner. And he usually comes through in the end. |amazonuk=<amazonuk>0385619154</amazonuk>}} {{newreview|author=Alexander Gordon Smith|title=Furnace: Fugitives|rating=4|genre=Teens|summary=It has taken three books for Alex to get out of prison.
