burgundywhine 's review for:

The Alchemyst by Michael Scott
2.0

Interesting premise - obviously lots of research - but didn't care much for the repetition (which is fairly common, unfortunately, in a lot of YA lit), the main characters, and the voice. One of my favorite characters was introduced in the last 50 pages--that was unfortunate. I'm sure many kiddos will like this, and it was fairly entertaining, but not something that wowed me.
