Book Review

Michael Scott's The Alchemyst, Is a book with thrilling details and a amazing story.

This book shows in amazing details the scenery and location. It begins with Sophie and Josh Newmen who are twins and they are working. Sophie works at a tea shop but she doesn't like tea but likes the smell of it. Josh works at a bookstore across the street owned by Mr. and Mrs. Flamel. From Los Angeles to the shadow realm to using a leygate which are ways of getting from one area to another quickly and are all over earth. They used a leygate to get to paris.

The characters in the book all have their own amazing story. Starting with Nicholas Flamel, he was born long ago and was a alchemyst who met perenelle his wife. He's doing this for good but he has his flaws. Like how how he never told Sophie and josh about the previous twins. They aren't that fird. They've been living for hundreds of years bt drinking a potion that the codex tell them. They must constantly make a youth drink to stay alive every so often. Josh and Sophie are twins. Sophie seems to be more calm than Josh. Josh wants to be like his dad, a Palentologist. He loves history. Perenelle is Nicholas's wife. Dr.Dee is the main protagonist. He is evil and also lives forever. His smell is of Rotten Eggs which josh notices early in the book.

This book Seem to me partially like the Hunger games. Almost no one can help them and they must try to survive. Dr.Dee is trying to get the Codex but gets a page that contains the drink that makes them young. So he has what they need. So Dee is in control kinda like in the hunger games with their president who controls everything.

I Would reccomend this book to anyone who likes reading books that involves a chase and a urge to overcome evil and survive.
