Publisher: Disney-Hyperion

On The Big Bang Theory, Family Matters: In the Season 3 episode "Making the Team," Urkel is demoted from the last man on the bench of a basketball team to water boy. Ptolemy's Gate (Bartimaeus #3). The fantasy world in this series is somewhat of a bizarro, backward-land version of Harry's wizarding world, Well, if you need a clue, let it be the fact that the trilogy continues with Book 3, Ptolemy's Gate. If a boxed set of Harry Potter were to fall through the looking-glass, what came out the other side might be a lot like the “Bartimaeus Trilogy,” of which this is Book 2. Bartimaeus was AMAZING as usual but I wanted more of him and less of Kitty.Some parts were a little boring and the book could easily have been a little shorter. This third and last part of the trilogy may well be called the best of the three. This needs to get added to my Best Books of 2006 list! Plot: The conclusion of the Bartimaeus trilogy. Ptolemy's Gate by Jonathan Stroud. Referenced by Bartiameus in Ptolemy's Gate, the third book of The Bartimaeus Trilogy, when he states that the plotting magicians were the ones that if you picked sides for soccer would be "standing at the end, next to the fat kid and the one with the plaster cast." Live-Action TV. As is usually the case with a trilogy or a saga, the last book has a big responsibility: to bring the story to a satisfying conclusion. Jonathan Stephens - Author - THE BARTIMAEUS TRILOGY #3: PTOLEMY'S GATE by Jonathan Stroud (5 stars) What THE AMULET OF SAMARKAND began in the first book, PTOLEMY'S GATE finishes up gloriously. Mandrake is still only 17 years old, and his mental sharpness (I can almost hear Bartimaeus guffaw here) deserts him when he has to work with the attractive but cruel Jane Farrar of the police, and later with someone else we know.
