Mouler Posts: 35 Group: Magicians Member #13 Joined: December 10, 2005	So Nathaniel was snotty. It's different from any other book. It'd be cliche if he turned into a complete goody goody like all of the other fantasy serieses

Mouler Posts: 20 Group: Magicians Member #9 Joined: December 6, 2005	I wasn't expecting him to change so much either, but I guess in an environment like that you WOULD start to comform to society quite a bit... ...if only there's been more Bartimaeus chapters...but I have to say, my favorite part was the chapters with Barti and Kitty talking. Twas very interesting...yet ANOTHER thing I'm looking forward to seeing in Ptolemy's Gate, more scenes with Barti and Kitty talking to each other...
