Not to mention hilarious.  I particularly liked seeing the magicians' rule from the perspective of a commoner, especially the demons. Nat's perspective always portrayed them as dangerous, but useful servants. Kitty's point of view showed them as a sort of "unknown terror," if you know what I mean. And I loved the climax, how all the little loose ends were gathered up and brought together into a suspenseful finale. |

First heard about it in grade 6, when a friend was talking about it. Later that year (five years ago tommorrow, ha) my godmother gave me the first one for a birthday present. I vagely recognised it as the book my friend thought was so good. I tried starting it, but I got bored (me and her never had much of the same tastes in books anyway, though I've always liked fantasy). Then, for reasons I don't really remember, the next year I picked it up again. Read the first chapter. Couldn't put it down. |

You just do. Quite understandable. I hope Stroud writes a book on Bart's past.... |

It was a few months ago when my sister was reading it and I was on the computer. She started telling me funny parts of the book while reading it, like the winged orang utan. She said I should try it after she's done. So, I read it and had to restrain from devouring it too quick. Whenever I got near an ending of one of the books, I become quite sad that I'm near done with it. |

Same. What did you think of their respective endings? |

AoS, probably in a different language, or just a typo. |

Yah... I first encountered the book in my school library. I had no idea what to read so I picked it up. About a month later i'm crying about the ending of PG. |
