Ik heb het boek 3 sterren gegeven. Het was bijna 4, maar het is qua snelheid van actie me echt wat over de top. Wel is het lekker leesbaar en de vele mythische figuren geven er een extra smakelijk tintje aan.
De overige delen hebben overigens ook last van een net wat te hoog tempo om het geloofwaardig te houden. Ik vind het een leuke serie maar geen hoogvlieger. Daarvoor is het allemaal net wat te ongebalanceerd.

This book was amazing!! I loved this and it is so my type of book. I really liked all the characters and I can't wait to find out what happens next. Oh yes... I will read this series!!
Not quite what I expected. An interesting story and fairly entertaining. Not quite sure why but something just felt off about the story and it was a little annoying.
It picked up at the end, but I think it's a little on the young end of young adult fantasy.
The siblings never fought which I found highly unrealistic.
This was a very fun read! Grabs you from the beginning, and keeps up speed! I love his writing style, very good imagery. I could picture everything from the characters to the scenes, but he doesn't overdue it where it's boring. GREAT RECOMMENDATION JAIME!!

I can tell I would have eaten this series up if I was 10+ years younger. Still fun but I found it hard to believe that Josh was that tempted to join John Dee that quickly and betray Sophie considering he loves her so much
Interesting read. Not sure if I'll continue the series or not, but I read this in one day and probably the most interesting thing about it is the author's note at the end about the history of Nicholas Flamel and the other characters in the book. He originally intended for Dee to be the hero before journeying to Flamel's home in Paris and deciding that he would instead become the protagonist of the book.
Well, sort of.
The book is called The Alchemyst quite simply because that is a cool name.
But it is not about an alchemist.
Nicholas Flamel is just a secondary character.
Anyway. Not a bad read.
I read a ridiculous negative review from somebody complaining that the book had nothing to do with Harry Potter. Come on now. Is that a reason to trash a book? I have not personally read much Harry Potter (only the first two books for an assignment in college a decade ago) so I did not expect any sort of connection. Apparently the misconception that this is affiliated with Harry Potter has made some people angry. Get over it and judge the book for its own merit.
