Summary:
The Truth: Nicholas Flamel was born in Paris on 28 Septemer 1330.
Nearly seven hundred 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 on 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 powerful book he protects- the Book of Abraham the Mage.
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.
Opinion:It's a Fantasy book that can arouse your curiosity in mythology and legends without even you knowing! It's a very good read that provides mystery, action and a very exciting adventure that leaves you wanting for more.
Rating: 4/5
PS
Did I mention that the first book is being turned into a movie?
Expect it be either a kickass movie or another book-adopted movie that skips a lot of parts from the book or, even worse, strays from the original plot.
