The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel: 'The Alchemyst'

by Michael Scott

I have been seeing and looking at these books at the bookstores every time I walk in but it took me a long time to buy the first book. So here it is, The Alchemhyst.

Nicholas Flamel was a legend in the history for being believed to be an immortal after his tomb, as well as his' wife's tomb, were found empty on the night of their burial. This book fascinated me with its story and its facts as well. The characters are all real, they all existed in this world, except for the twins, Sophie and Josh Newman.

The first book was about Nicholas Flamel and his adventures with the twins, Sophie and Josh Newman. The twins started the journey with Flamel after finding out that he has been living for hundreds of years and that he is, in fact, an immortal. The twins were stunned when they saw magics (as in magic from spells and energies) in front of them. They were also shocked when they knew that they too has the ability to have these powers and especially when they were told that they are a part of the prophecy of Flamel's world.

Its story is very 'magical' and its very interesting as Mr. Michael Scott made this story with factual events in it and real places in the world. I really admire him for doing this because as far as I know, his technique in creating this book is unusual, therefore unique also. AndI find it fascinating.

For those who love mystery, magic, science-fiction, you have to read this series. If you also love a bit of history, you might enjoy this as well.

P.S.

I was trying hard to find the bookstore where they have the 2nd book, The Magician. However, I went to the nearby bookstores and also to the city, but I cannot find any. Most bookstores have all 5 but their missing The Magician. Isn't that crazy? Its the second book. I am going crazy. I hope to find it soon!
