Product Description
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.

From the Hardcover edition.

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.

Good fantasy reading October 31, 2008
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.

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

Flat characters.... September 25, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful

The ideas behind the story for this book are interesting, unfortunately, the writing is not. I found the characters flat and one dimensional. I honestly found it difficult to care what, if anything, happened to them. I also found the writing style repetitive and overly dramatic. The book just couldn't keep my attention.. and with a story based on magic, elder races, immortal men and a fight for humanity.. it should have.

Such a shame.
