"A must-purchase for all fantasy collections"
School Library Journal (starred review)

"It has been an anxious wait for fans of the Amulet of Samarkand to see if Jonathan Stroud could pull off another tour de force. But readers can rest easy… (The Golem's Eye has) an irresistible plot, packed with magic, mayhem, wit and wisdom. It is fast paced, frightening and funny, and you don't want it to end."
Lindsey Fraser, The Bookseller

"Jonathan Stroud manages to keep the pace and humour of the first part of the Trilogy in the sequel – which is even better."
Die Welt

"as hugely enjoyable as before… The alternating perspectives between the three central characters add depth, detail and humour to the action-packed thrills"
Amanda Craig, The Times

"Fans of book one will enjoy revisiting this delectably uneasy bond between boy and djinni. Bartimaeus's pointed humor makes for a story worth savoring."
