Jonathan Stroud The Bartimaeus Series 4 Books Collection Set (Bartimaeus Sequence Series - Children's Fantasy Novels, Age 10-14)

Really fun series for kids. Reading level is probably 5 - 7 th grade. Younger kids will enjoy if read to them. There are demons who sometimes eat people but amusing, not scary

Loved every page. Read all 3 books non stop. Now reading the fourth one. Can’t believe I didn’t read them years ago! Fantastic books. Oh, and I’m not a YA…. old lady here 😅

Interesting and somewhat co relates with facts

Bought the set for my adult son who is really enjpying it

Box sets usually come in a box, but they're good books, if cheaply printed.

The books are of very low quality. The feel like there bargain bin quality. Not worth the price

I like those books but I haven't got them yet.

I like the product

His descriptions are masterful. Next to Barti himself though, the other characters arent as interesting. I needed to go back for a second read and not skip those, finding interest in them. First read, i just wanted Barti, who is full of it, but not overpowered, arrogant but amusing. This author is masterful at atmosphere, description, and characters. I would do these things differently: The protagonist (other than Bart) wasnt described early enough. For me, i was imagining what he looked like from his behaviour, and the well done dialogue. However after we have already gotten into it and i have imagined it, then the author describes him. I feel i must write descriptions early, and scant, so i have learnt from my experience here! And i learnt (subjective opinion) to make sure i ask for feedback specifically on whether my subplots and side characters are as compelling and interesting as possible, and that they are unskippably linked to the main plot and characters. Adore this author. Absolutely awesome deep pov. The not deep pov narrative sections... only helped to solidify in my mind my love of deep pov.

Avevo letto questi libri in italiano ma li trovavo solo in ebook, quindi ho acquistato il cartaceo in inglese che leggo senza problemi. Consiglio la lettura di Stroud a tutti. Se cercate un libro scritto bene con un linguaggio e uno stile semplice per approcciarvi alla lingua questa serie è perfetta! Anche esteticamente fa la sua figura.

Great to have all the books together like this. I devoured them one after another.
