I LOVED this book, although I read the second book, the magician, first. I work at a bookstore and we are allowed to loan hardcover books so long as we keep them in mint condition, to broaden our book knowledge. We didn't have this copy in hardcover, but we had the sequel in hardcover, and i didn't want to buy it if i wasn't sure if i would like it. Eventhough the second book picks up really fast, I was able to understand what was going on as the author subtly explains the plot continuation without slowing it down. To me, that's the mark of a great writer, so I didn't hesitate to buy the first book the same day I finished the sequel. I was pleased and read through this book in 2 days, it was so exciting, and eventhough some of the ending was spoiled because characters are killed off which are mentioned in the sequel, I really feel I enjoyed the book just as much as I would have enjoyed it if I hadn't read it in reverse order. Michael Scott is an Irish writer, and has penned many high fantasy science fiction novels, where there's lots of magic, wizards, creatures of lore. He is also an expert on mythology and folklore and his knowledge adds depth to his plots/characters, and he even makes the scenarios seem almost plausible at times. I find the story extremely humorous at some points, eventhough we have it filed under 'teen fiction' i wouldn't let that deter you if you are an adult, i think the main reason its for kids is because the main characters and protagonists throughout the series he's developing are 15 year old fraternal twins, brother and sister who have legendary sun and moon auras of the rarest colors, silver and gold. We mere mortal humani (humans) cannot see auras of course, but immortals who have special skills and "Awakened" magical abilities in the story, i.e. Nicholas Flamel, the legendary French Alchemyst from the 14th-15th cent. and his wife Perenelle can. Unfortunately, so can the 'bad guys', like the Dr. John Dee, the advisor to Queen Elizabeth I in the court of the Tudors and his masters, the Dark Elder race which predated mankind which include mythological creatures such as the Morrigan, who was the Irish Crow Goddess and Bastet, the Egyptian goddess who has the body of a beautiful young woman and the head of a cat!! This entertaining saga is your typical good vs. evil where Flamel believes the twins are the fulfillment of a prophecy made 10,000 years before stating that they could either save or destroy the world with their powerful auras, and he's determined to mentor them and guide them in the right direction with the help of his allies- some good immortals and the handful of good elders who want to let the world remain in the hands of the humani. Unfortunately, Dr. Dee has other plans and wants to rule the world and bring the Dark Elders back as it once was, and will stop at nothing to kidnap the twins and influence them to help his agenda, along with the ancient book, the Codex, which the Flamels have been protecting through all these years. The Codex is the magical book written 10,000 years ago which contained the prophecy about the twins in the first place, and the secrets to immortality which allowed Nicholas and Perenelle Flamel to survive all these ages without looking a day older than the day they started the recipe for the potion that keeps them alive. Its hard to explain much more of the plot without giving away spoilers, but I do recommend this to people, its so much fun. I always thought I hated science fiction, but this is really entertaining, and I can't wait for the third installment of the series, set to come out in May 2009! Woo Hoo!!!
