Review of 'The alchemyst' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
This was a pretty decent read that left me eager for the next in the series. The legend of Nicholas Flamel always interested me and Michael Scott's book helped satisfy my curiosity, even though it is a work of fiction. ;-) Out of all of the Alchemyst's aspects, I believe I enjoyed the plot above the rest.

The Alchemyst is the first of a moderately sized seriess of six novels. I'm sure each is as good as the first or better. I look forward to to familiarizing myself with more of Micheal Scott's work and perhaps having the honor of writing a few reviews. ;-)
