The Alchemyst by Michael Scott
5.0

Good times. I haven't read this since 2007, I'm glad I got a chance to reread (or re-listen).

Things I noticed this time;

Scatty is my favorite character. She's so funny! Love her.
Nicholas Flamel has his funny moments, but he's more of a mentor.
Perinelle; still awesome, ass-kicking.
Sophie; I could like her. She's likable as a good girl.
Josh: STOP BEING A TOOL, JOSH!! Seriously, he's jealous of his sister getting sick from being Awakened? I didn't recognize how much of a Tool he was until my second read-through.
John Dee; he's a villain I can get. He's good at telling partial truths and sees himself as a hero in his own eyes. I loved that James Bond has so much basis on the real John Dee.

Well, it's obvious that Michael Dylan Scott has learned and forgotten more mythology than I've ever learned in my entire lifetime. And people come to me with questions about mythology. I think that's so cool.

It's worth a read if you're a Harry Potter nerd, but it's so different from Harry Potter, so you can really enjoy the originality of this book. Go read it!
