I’m going to start actually writing reviews rather than just putting a rating down. We’ll start here. I first read this book back in middle school (I think, sometime ’round then, anyways), and I remember LOVING the series. It’s not often you find stories that focus on sibling relationships over romantic ones, and that is really quite refreshing. …

The Alchemyst is a unique series starter that makes you wanting to know what characters you’ll be introduced to next. There are so many names and events throughout that story that play a role, that I would love if Michael Scott would rewrite the history books just to match this series. Without spoiling anything, the plot is fast-paced and the …
I rank the ‘Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel’ series as one of the very best that I’ve ever read. Can be read by young adults. The writing, the characters, the mythology and story line were simply fabulous. I very strongly recommend this book and the entire series. I had a major book hangover after reading this book and series.
The Alchemyst is a book that really surprised me. I went into this book not knowing quite what to expect. I actually chose this book to read to my son as a bedtime story. He and I both walked away with smiles on our faces.
The first thing that I have to mention about this book is that it is labeled as a young adult book, but it reads more like a …
It is an amazing book, with a page waiting for you to read it. When you say in you’re mind, only one more page you still won’t get enough. Every seen wants you to know more every page. You can look for this book in a local Library or online. This book has a series of books, so be sure to check it out!
loved it
I can’t say there was anything wrong with it, but I didn’t enjoy it. I don’t usually read young adult, so it’s probably just not my cup of tea.
I knew I was hooked early on when I ran into my daughter’s room and nervously asked, “You have the rest of this series, right?” To which she responded, “You know I have the rest of the series; you and mom bought me the rest of the series.” To which I responded, “Right, right—gimme book two! And don’t lend out book three to anyone—Wait!—gimme book …
This book was definitely interesting and a intriguing start to this series. There was a lot to absorb in this book and while it was a bit much I found this book to be pretty good. I definitely like Nicholas Flamel and there so much more to him than just being immortal. I am interested to see how the twins role will shape the rest of the books.
This is the first book in the Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel series written by Michael Scott. I had several people tell me this series was very good and I need to read it. My local library finally got it in and I decided to check it Out.
Sophie and Josh are your everday normal twins, until Josh’s boss Nicholas Flamel has a very angry …
