A review by soniagracelm
The Alchemyst by Michael Scott

4.0

I thought the balance Michael Scott struck between all of the characters was excellent. It would be easy in this kind of book (a coming-of-age of a sort) to lose sight of the adults, but he manages to make Nicholas and Perenelle Flamel both important and interesting, rather than simple mentor figures. There are also a few errant gods and goddesses who make wonderful side characters, and who will be familiar to anyone with a background in ancient world mythology.
