Publisher's summary

Bartimaeus, everyones favorite (wise-cracking) djinni, is back in book four of this best-selling series. As alluded to in the footnotes throughout the series, Bartimaeus has served hundreds of magicians during his 5,010 year career. Now, for the first time, fans will go back in time with the djinni, to Jerusalem and the court of King Solomon in 950s BC. Only in this adventure, it seems the great Bartimaeus has finally met his match. He'll have to contend with an unpleasant master and his sinister servant, and he runs into just a spot of trouble with King Solomons magic ring.

Bartimaeus is back!

Because I loved the trilogy so much, I was a little nervous how this would play out. Stroud did not disappoint. It's a great prequel and Bartimaeus is as funny, witty, loveable and flippant as always.

The pace is fast and the story draws you in. I found myself washing the dishes twice just so I could prolong the task and listen more.

I love Jonathan Stroud

Where does The Ring of Solomon rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I wouldnt say that I liked iit as much as the Bartimaeus trilogy bit never the less I thought it was awesome.

Who was your favorite character and why?

by far Bartimaeus just because I love his dry humor.

What about Simon Jones’s performance did you like?

I love the way he reads, how he put life into the character's voices....for Bartimaeus it is always a tone of disdane.

Any additional comments?

If you liked bartimaeus you will like this book.

Hopefully this is not the last!

The wit of Bartimaeus of Uruck is pure magic. Bartimaeus is one of those rare characters that you never tire of. Everything you loved from the original trilogy is here and Bartimaeus is even more fun than before. Hilarious and a must read for any fan.

Good book

Simon Jones is fantastic, I really enjoy listening to audiobooks that feature him. This isn't Simon Jones writing this.
