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.
a great blend of myth and magic November 13, 2008
This book is about twins Sophie and Josh Newman and there adventures with the immortal Nicholas Flamel after seeing him duel the evil magian John Dee. It is a great book especially for fans of myths and legends
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.
 There's no magic here! October 30, 2008
Although the premise of the book is very interesting, the writing is horribly underdeveloped and obvious. The plot is very poorly contrived and the book seems very amateurish. This was a great disappointment. The editor(s) should have helped the author produce a higher quality book. I am uncertain as to how this book became published in its current state. Instead of this book, try Harry Potter, The Eldest, Twilight, or Abhorsen.
Easy to read, explore imagination. October 9, 2008

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