I enjoyed it So, I came into this knowing it had mixed reviews and thought for the worst. I'm not saying where I read these reviews, and I don't always read reviews beforehand, but sometimes it's good to know, so I don't get too excited only to be let down. The crux of it is that I enjoyed the boo...
"Are you a victim too?" -The Alchemyst, p.338 Josh and Sophie Newman wouldn't label themselves as victims. Sure, their archaeologist parents are in Utah, and they're in San Francisco for the summer. Sure, they have to spend that summer with an over-protective aunt. But they have summer jobs, and ...
It's somewhere around a 2 and 3/4 star book. Ever since I seen the cover of this book I wanted to read it. I have always had an interest in alchemy, philosophy and mythology and stories with those elements. I also adore the cover. It is beautiful.But, reading the reviews I was some what put off. T...

At first I did not like this book. Too many names, creatures, special magic, being saved from danger by another surprise magic creature or spell. It was awful. The twins were very annoying. It was obvious that the author was throwing out an incredible amount of info because it would be necessary in ...
10/13/13 ** I waffled between 2 & 3 stars. The plot kept me going, some elements in the writing annoyed me. Annoyance #1: Sophie and Josh are twins, but don't really have enough characterization to help me know how the 15 year olds are different. Though twins and very close to each other, I shoul...
Conflicted. This just didn't keep my attention enough to warrant a higher rating. There were too many historical references just thrown in that it felt like I was reading a history book instead of fiction. The twins were annoying, the boy especially, and the constant full names at the beginning of e...
