The Alchemyst by Michael Scott

3.0

I liked The Alchemyst by Michael Scott. I thought it was a fun, light read, and a good adventure. I thought the magic was interesting, but for being titled The Alchemyst, I feel like the actual Alchemy was missing. It is a kid's book, so I guess that may have been too complicated to put in. It just felt a little glossed over. There were a lot of parts of the story where I wanted more background information, but it seemed like it just got set aside for later, and by the time it came up again, the details felt unimportant. It was an enjoyable story, but it felt more tell than show.
