"I've been meaning to mention this for some time. I don't like being called a demon. Got that?"
He took a deep breath. "Fine."
"Just so you know."
"All right."
"I'm a djinni."

This series was like Harry Potter to me when growing up. I love the magical system and creatures. What I love most is how much it makes me laugh. I think it would do very well as a comic or on screen. I do wish that Nathaniel became more likeable (less of a snotty brat) and that he and Bartimaeus developed more a sense of comradery than the 'every magician/creature for himself' mentality. Overall, a lot of fun!
