Suddenly possessed of dark powers and battling a monstrous will to evil, he soon finds others in the village in the grip of the same sinister force. When the seal that binds the dragon is broken, they set out to raise it from the pit. Can Michael go through with it knowing that he will destroy his own family? And if he does, can they stop him?

LoL. Now's if it didn't have Stroud's name on it, I'd pass that for Crap.

PS it sounds pretty much like Kitty&Nathaniel without Bartimaeus and FOOTNOTES!

I checked it out on Amazon. It's apparently not 'up to scratch' with the Bartimaeus Trilogy, but I'll have my own opinion. I'll buy that and some Dean Koontz book my friend recommended in a bit and get you a long review on it.

Bartimaues is a work of art. Only His dark Matriels ( still don't like it, though) and Tolkien ofer any comparision.

While, Buried fire is a run of the mill Fantasy. You may like it; but it's nothing new. Of course I haven't actually read it.... but I have my sources.

Strictly speaking; HMD is a big competitor.... Of course this book doesn't stand a chance.

There is no thin line between enjoyability and popularity with some stories. Different people have different tastes...but we all hate quiche.

Bartimaeus was unique; zero quiches.

Heeelllloooo? Harry Potter? The best selling fantasy book of all time? Wands and unicorns? Quiches? Ring a bell?

I can't remember any books offhand that have any quiches in.

Plenty of cliches in a lot of books, though.

Yeah, but Bartimaeus kept it to a minimum.
