The Amulet of Samarkand

This was a re-read from childhood, but my memory of the book was very poor. The series had been a quick read that I had enjoyed and found hilarious due to the footnotes.

This time around I struggled with the footnotes in the ebook copy of the book as they would flip you to the end of the book without a button to out you back at your original page. I read majority without the footnotes and still enjoyed the book a lot. I found the style of humour to be right up my alley; quite sarcastic British humor.

The plot was involved, detailed and well paced. I found the first book in this series to be a really enjoyable read.
