That just means everyone can read it!

Or they could, if the age ghetto wasn't a thing. People need to quit stereotyping.

Paranormal-bondage romance then?
Bartimaeus/Farrar. Let's do it.

...

Oh god, what have I done?

Not weird enough. What if Barti pines for the footstool?

There's a pun in there somewhere....something about splinters and his heart. :ermm:

Preposterous. I don't have any splinters. :whistle:
Bartimaeus: It won't be the only mad thing about if you let this lot go. Check out that one at the end. He's taken the form of a footstool. Weird...but somehow I like his style.
Nathaniel: That is a footstool. No one's using that Pentacle.

When you break, you might. And because you have broken, he would break too. Your splinters would be the cause. =o

Another reason why BT didn't sell well: It's too long for pre-teens. I think I got through the first harry potter in a day when I was 9 and JKR slowly started increasing the size.

Stroud could have done two smaller books with the material from AoS. The first book could have ended with Underwood's death. But the overall arc of both would have been Lovelace. Or mb AoS could have been 3 books, GE 2, and PG would be the same.

Wait a second. New book's September 5th... I can't wait that long.

Posting a Q&A session from Facebook (since apparently Stroud is too cool for us now :P ) if anyone was interested in reading it:
http://www.facebook.com/JonathanStroudA ... 0273420809 People are still asking if Nat's dead. That's adorable.

Wow, read all that, don't know where to begin.
Wish I get to meet Stroud at least once.

Indeed, which is a shame, I've started reading some Fan/Fic recently and none of it as anywhere near the quality of Stroud's work. Some of it is decent for a bit, say the odd few paragraphs, but nothing seems to be mirroring the pace and wit of Stroud himself :hmm:
