Bartimäus - Das Auge des Golem
Bartimäus - Das Auge des Golem | Jonathan Stroud
Bartimäus ist wieder da! „Klar habe ich damit gerechnet, dass mich eines Tages wieder irgendein Schwachkopf mit spitzem Hut beschwört, aber doch nicht derselbe wie beim letzten Mal!“ Zwei Jahre und acht Monate ist es her, seit sich die Wege von Bartimäus und Nathanel zuletzt gekreuzt haben. Der ehrgeizige Nathanel hat inzwischen Karriere im Zaubereiministerium gemacht und soll Informationen über den »Widerstand« beschaffen: Eine Gruppe nichtmagischer Gewöhnlicher stiehlt immer wieder magische Gegenstände und setzt sie für Anschläge gegen die Zauberer ein. Zur Widerstandsbewegung gehört auch die 15-jährige Kitty, die mit einer seltenen Gabe geboren wurde: außergewöhnlicher Abwehrkraft gegen Magie! Als eines Nachts eine ganze Reihe Luxusgeschäfte für Magier bei einem Anschlag zerstört wird, erhält Nathanael den Auftrag, die Widerständler dingfest zu machen. Er weiß, dass dies seine große Bewährungsprobe sein wird ... Und er setzt alles daran, Kitty und ihre Verbündeten aufzuspüren. Als diese entkommen, weiß sich Nathanael keinen anderen Rat mehr. Bartimäus muss wieder her – doch wie nicht anders zu erwarten, ist der nicht gerade beglückt, als er schon wieder in die Dienste dieses grässlichen Ehrgeizlings treten muss. • Atemberaubend spannend, umwerfend komisch und einfach unwiderstehlich: die Fortsetzung des brillanten Fantasy-Abenteuers

Need to read to my son. Lost a bet. 😵
Does this count as #raisingreaders?

BTW, the English edition of this book has a nicer cover.

PS: yes, the sticker covers up the mess

Lcsmcat Yes, it counts! Anyone who considers being read to a prize is a reader. 6y
MidnightBookGirl Haha, I have also used stickers to hid my mess! 6y

#ReadingResolutions Day 7: Magicians here are depicted to be a disreputable, #devious, untrustworthy lot. No wonder, the protagonist, Nathaniel is slowly becoming John Mandrake. No room for joy or bliss in this young boy‘s life. Not even a hint of romance. The only person who would do anything to save his hide is in the person of the young girl (Kitty) whom he has viciously hunted since Book 1. My full review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-2v

Reading how Nathaniel turned out into those stuck up wizards was really amusing. I can't wait to see another moral conflict that would ensue him.

I just realized I've been reading this for the past two hours. Seriously, it's so fast paced and funny.

The Second book of the Bartimaeus trilogy seems just what the doctor ordered. I have to recommend these audiobooks to anyone else still in a funk after Tuesday. Also glad these books are holding up to a relisten after 15 years. 😂

BookishFeminist Oh I hate when books don't hold up to a reread/listen! Glad these do. 8y
Chachic I read the books years ago and I remember loving them! 8y
TheLondonBookworm 😠I reeeeaaallly want to read the second one! 8y
mllemay I read this trilogy for the first time this year and loved it! 8y
ReadingsByTheC I haven't read this one yet, but I love his Lockwood & Company series. I will definitely pick this one up. Thanks! 8y

It started slower than the first one for me, but when it really got going, it was such a fun romp!! The new characters were very compelling, and there's just enough left unresolved to make Book 3 promising ðŸ‘ðŸ»

Trav Ptolemy's Gate for you next? 8y
mllemay @Trav yup! Already put a hold on it at my library and I think it should come in quickly ðŸ‘🻠I'm really excited to read it! 8y

I'm a big fan of audiobooks for long drives, durning housework & while building my dollhouse. I'm really into this one, the 2nd in the BARTIMAEUS trilogy. I fell in love with Jonathan Stroud's LOCKWOOD & CO. & am now enjoying his earlier work.
What ways do you enjoy books—without using actual books?

CarynCaldwell I love audio books, too. An excellent narrator can add a whole new dimension to the story, and I love that I can "read" while still doing other things such as exercising or washing dishes. 8y
HeidiSchulz @CarynCaldwell It is a great way to fit in more stories! 8y
CarynCaldwell Exactly! 8y
