I enjoyed The Alchemyst by Michael Scott, but I’m a little miffed at the total cliffhanger ending (but mostly at the fact that my uber-cool ILL doesn’t have the sequel yet). The Alchemyst is concerned with Nicholas Flamel, the man who found a way to make the Philosophers’ Stone, thereby becoming immortal. If you’re like me, when you read the words ‘Nicholas Flamel’ or ‘Philosophers’ Stone,’ you think of Harry Potter. And stylistically, the two books are slightly similar, as they concern magic in our own present world and time. Scott works in references to quite a lot of current technology (Google, iPods and Wikipedia all get several mentions) but the story is also bursting with myths, legends, and the creatures that populate them. So Nicholas Flamel and his wife Perenelle are still alive in 21st century San Francisco. But when the evil Dr. John Dee steals the instruction book for making the Philosophers’ Stone and kidnaps Perenelle Flamel, it’s up to Nicholas and two ordinary American teenagers, Josh and Sophie Newman, to get the book back and stop Dr. Dee from releasing all of the bad guys from the old tales on to the unsuspecting world. Fascinating, huh? The plot moves along fairly well, the characters are all well-rounded and the world is detailed and believable. Like I said, I’m waiting impatiently for one of the libraries in our consortium to get the sequel so I can find out what happens next!
