Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Charles Dickens

Completely awesome. The whole Immortal Nicholas Flemel series is turning really intreaging. It's one of those books that just takes a hold of you and pulls you right into the story, and keeps you there untill its done. I thought it was written very well, an interesting take on the world of alchemy and magics. The two main characters, Sophie and Josh, are interesting and well developed throughout the story. All the realistic settings and backround(historic and mythological) really add to the story. Being a twin myself, I understand Josh's feelings in this one, which were hinted at at the end of "The Alchemyst",(though my feelings obviously are not caused by the same specicific circumstances.) and i feel Scott portayed the situation the twins find themselves in very well. No twin likes to feel that the other has surpassed them or has changed in a way the other never will or will never understand. No matter how close or not twins are, a major unbalance between them, like the one in the story, will cause some stormy seas(if you'll excuse the crumy metaphor). Trust me. The feelings can be hidden or squashed down but they're still there, and extremely unplesent. Jelousy, envy, anger, regret, disaproval, or contempt for the acheivements or abilities of someone that close or connected to you can turn into a real ugly thing and ruin the relationship between them. The Elder Warrior Scatty seems to have developed alot more too, you got to see a little more into her past and her character, which i thoroughly enjoyed. She seems to warm up to the twins more, which is probably a good thing. Perenelle's predicament(and her method of dealing with it) was extremely interesting to read, and was my favorite part of the book. I found myself rushing through the main parts of the story just to get back to her side of things. The info and content on the catacombs of Parris was morbidly fasinating. It was the perfect setting for the events towards the end of the book, and i get the feeling good old Dr. Dee is quite at home down there. Ah Dr. Doc, aa elusive, sneaky, and underhanded in this book as ever. I still am dying to know who his annonymous Master is... Saint-Germain and his wife Joan are two great new characters. I was happily suprised at their ties to Flemel and Scatty. Saint-Germain was my favorite this book, a truly lovable modern alchemyc pyro! A very good read, can't wait to read the whole series!

This book was an amazing journey from start to finish. No, not because of the action (there isn't much of that) and no not because of some kind literal journey. I'm talking about the journey towards the answer. ...The Deciphering. I always love that stuff and it was VERY well done in this book. Slowly answering all the questions without the answer ever being obvious to the reader. And because there is a group of scientists with all different specializations it just never gets boring. Myths and Legends. Linguistics. Archeology. Military. And one or two I won't spoil. You never know where the next piece of the puzzle will come from. They answer the Why, Where, and What. But never really go into the Who and How. Maybe that's a little disappointing, but still; the journey to the answer was awesome enough that even a crap ending couldn't ruin my 5 star rating. Now, the ending wasn't crap, but I'm just not sure yet what I thought about it. Maybe it was a bit out-of-place? Maybe I just expected something different? Either way, it was not enough to bring down my opinion about the book in the slightest. But remember; if you are going to read this book with the expectation of it being a thrilling, action packed ride you will leave disappointed. There really isn't a lot of action (and with action I mean shooting and stuff). And when it's there you want it to go back to the deciphering of the mystery (if you're like me that is) All in all one of the best books I've read this year.

Griffin, an albino physicist who describes himself as invisible to most people even when he was a normal man, looks to gain notoriety and fame as the first scientist to figure out how to make things - and people - invisible. After successfully performing this on an unlucky cat, Griffin decides to take immediate steps in transforming himself to avoid further confrontation and eviction from his increasingly suspicious landlords who aren't comfortable with his experiments taking place in their house. Once invisible, Griffin finds power in being able to see but be unseen by others, but also finds that power comes at a great cost: the inability to live his life with any sense of normalcy. Everyday activities such as eating and dressing in clothes become immediate markers of his existence, for these items are visible to everyone and cause panic among people seeing "unassimilated" food floating in midair. Unfortunately, Griffin is unable to find the remedy to his new physicality. _The Invisible Man_ details his misadventures, much of it told by Griffin himself. The longer Griffin remains invisible, the more lonely and isolated he becomes and the more violent and enraged become his actions. From murder to mayhem, the irony that follows the Invisible Man is how in his attempts to match his physical existence with his heretofore overlooked persona, he becomes more visible to the outside world even though they can no longer see him, making it impossible for him to exist quietly and comfortably. People fear his invisibility and their distrust eventually drives him mad, embarking him on a new mission to use his invisibility to wreak havoc and seek revenge through a reign of terror over those who would try to stop or deceive him. Griffin confides all of this to a former school mate whose deception ultimately ends in Griffin's demise. Although no doubt a great work of fiction, particularly in the Victorian era in which it was written, I feel as though the _The Invisible Man_ lacks in plot and character development. I feel Wells should have developed Griffin's pre-Invisible Man character more to make the reader truly understand Griffin's need for invisibility and the subsequent madness that followed as a result of getting his wish. Instead, we are left with an irascible, unlikeable character from the very beginning, making it difficult for the reader to identify and/or sympathize with him. It was a quick read and entertaining at parts, but I found _The Invisible Man_ rather disappointing overall.
