Book Reviews of The Alchemyst: The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel
Book Review: Not to bad
Summary: 3 Stars
It wasnt a great book, but it wasnt a bad book. Really i guess it depends on what you like to read. I liked the concept of the book, just thought it could have been written better. I did like that you got different perspectives of the characters, but at times (many times) it jumped one person to an other to an other to an other, and so on and it was pretty confusing. It took about half the book to get use to it, and he really didnt need to have what every single character thought in there, just the main ones like Flamel, the twims, and Dee would have worked just fine. It was a bit boring to me, but not horribly. It also seemed like he would forget about some character and just throw there thoughts in there randomly, just so that they could make and appearance. (like a stated before, real jumpy). other then thoses things it was alright. its not one for the bookshelf for me, but like i said early i think i just didnt like the writing style.
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.
