Book Reviews of The Alchemyst: The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel
Book Review: Just for young adults...I think not!
Summary: 5 Stars
I finally gave up my refusal to read the Harry Potter series and dove in nose first and was hooked on the genre. I found that I was hungry for more adventure and read the Percy Jackson series and became even more addicted! By the by, I've never tried drugs before but I guess when you're hooked... Anyway, I was looking for my next big read and came across the Nicholas Flamel series and have read the three books up until this point. Can't wait until the next installment. I need to find something else to occupy my mind until its release date. I've never been good at summarizing anything so I won't even try it. However, if you have a great appreciation for mythology and history then this is definitely a good read for you. Oh yeah, just totally bypass the age range.
Summary of The Alchemyst: The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel
He holds the secret that can end the world.The truth: Nicholas Flamel was born in Paris on September 28, 1330. Nearly 700 years later, he is acknowledged as the greatest Alchemyst of his day. It is said that he discovered the secret of eternal life.
The records show that he died in 1418.
But his tomb is empty.
The legend: Nicholas Flamel lives. But only because he has been making the elixir of life for centuries. The secret of eternal life is hidden within the book he protects-the Book of Abraham the Mage. It's the most powerful book that has ever existed. In the wrong hands, it will destroy the world. That's exactly what Dr. John Dee plans to do when he steals it. Humankind won't know what's happening until it's too late. And if the prophecy is right, Sophie and Josh Newman are the only ones with the power to save the world as we know it.
Sometimes legends are true.
And Sophie and Josh Newman are about to find themselves in the middle of the greatest legend of all time.
