Alchemyst: Fun and suspensing!!!
November 20, 2008
The Alchemyst is one of the best books I have ever read. It is about these twins Sophie and Josh who come upon the famous alchemyst Nicholas Flamel. They go on a wild and crazy adventure to learn magic powers and get the Book of Abraham the Mage bake from Dr. John Dee. I won't tell everything , but I promise you once you start you won't put it down.
a great blend of myth and magic

This book is about twins Sophie and Josh Newman and there adventures with the immortal Nicholas Flamel after seeing him duel the evil magian John Dee. It is a great book especially for fans of myths and legends
Good fantasy reading

This book was amazing...a very quick read, and holds your interest. Would highly recommend if you're looking for something in the Harry Potter genre.
There's no magic here!

Although the premise of the book is very interesting, the writing is horribly underdeveloped and obvious. The plot is very poorly contrived and the book seems very amateurish. This was a great disappointment. The editor(s) should have helped the author produce a higher quality book. I am uncertain as to how this book became published in its current state. Instead of this book, try Harry Potter, The Eldest, Twilight, or Abhorsen.
Easy to read, explore imagination.

Interesting story. I picked it up in the library and read it from cover to cover. It reminds me of Harry Potter.
