What can I say about The Alchemyst by Michael Scott? I finished reading this book while I was sick. I have to tell you that no other book has gotten me hooked from the very beginning. Even Twilight took me a while to get into it. Please bear with me as I try my best to review this book.
The Alchemyst one of 6 books.
This book or series has everything I ever wanted! It's got myths and legends AND MAGIC! It's got myths and legends from Greece, Egypt and Ireland as well.
This series is about Nicholas Flamel, yes the very same person who is in the Potter Series who owns the Philosopher Stone in book one, and the Newman Twins.
The adventure started when the Evil Dr John Dee came looking for Nicholas at his bookstore. The Twins were basically at the wrong place at the wrong time or was it destined?
Nicholas Flamel has in his possession the Codex. The Codex contained everything you would ever want to know. This is where Nicholas Flamel gets his recipe to brew his Immortal life potion.
The Twins plays a big role in this series because they were meant to be the chosen ones. Sophie has a pure silver aura and Josh, her twin brother has a pure golden aura. The Twins are the ones that could either save or destroy the world.
In this book, Sophie's magical powers were awaken by the Goddess Hekate and they are hunted by Dr John Dee.
I will not mentioned too much about the book just in case you have not read it yet but I suggest that you get the book if you like myths and legends like me. :*)
I am now reading the third book and will review the second book soon.
