The Alchemyst; Nick's blog

I changed my book the The Alchemyst, written by Michael Scott. I would call it an action and fantasy book. There is magic in it, but it is not like a Harry Potter, it is learning how to control your body energy. The main (good) characters are Nicholas and Perenelle Flemel and Sophie and Josh who are twins. The bad character is Dr. John Dee, and the story is about how the secrets of life. The Flemels and the doctor both have the elixir of life, which they learned in separate ways. The Flemels have a book called the Book of Abraham which contains all of the secrets. The doctor wants it a lot, and has been chasing them around for centuries, since they both have the elixir of life. Josh and Sophie are involved because they try to stop Dr. John Dee from hurting Nick, Perenelle, and stop them from taking the book. The doctor succeeds in taking the book, but Josh ripped out the last two pages, on accident, but they are essential for the magic to work. This was as far as I read and I think it was a very interesting and catchy book. It had a very exciting intro and I liked it right when I picked it up. I think this is a good action and fantasy packed book with many exciting turns in it. I like how it leaves you hanging at the end of each chapter and I want to find out what happens. Overall this book has so far been interesting and I look forward to reading more.
