      The second in the Bartimaeus Trilogy. Hmmm. I don't know what I really felt about this book. I kept reading because I wanted to know what happened to the characters. It's not that they are excellent books, but you do get wound up in the character development. I only gave it two stars because the footnotes are still annoying me.

      Anche se non posso dire che questo libro non mi sia piaciuto, di sicuro non lo considero all'altezza del precedente.
      La storia si svolge un paio di anni dopo le vicende di "The Amulet od Samarkand", con Nathaniel/John Mandrake ormai inserito nel governo e la sua nuova vita che sta inevitabilmente iniziando a rovinarne la natura positiva che aveva nel primo libro.
      La storia è interessante e ben articolata, ma non scorrevole come quella del primo libro. Ai due punti di vista che esistevano in questo (Nathaniel e Bartimaeus) se ne aggiunge un terzo, quello di Kitty, la ragazza che appartiene alla Resistenza già apparsa brevemente nel primo libro. Sebbene il personaggio in sé sia interessante, le sue parti, molte delle quali in flashback, sono piuttosto noiose la maggior parte delle volte. Di sicuro sono fondamentali alla trama nel suo insieme, ma rallentano il ritmo, oltre all'inevitabile riduzione dello spazio dedicato a Bartimaeus, che è sempre la parte migliore del romanzo come lo era per il precedente.
      Nel complesso un libro godibile, ma con qualche pecca.

Book Description

The second adventure in the Bartimaeus trilogy finds our young apprentice magician Nathaniel working his way up the ranks of the government, when crisis hits. A seemingly invulnerable clay golem is making random attacks on London. Nathaniel and the all-powerful, totally irreverent djinni, Bartimaeus, must travel to Prague to discover the source of the golem's power. In the ensuing chaos, readers will chase a dancing skeleton across London's skyline, encounter the horror of the dreaded Night Police, witness a daring kidnapping, and enter the Machiavellian world of the magician's government. Eventually, Nathaniel and Bartimaeus have to go head to head with the fearsome golem before the surprise identity of his master is finally revealed.
