  <default-description>He holds the secret that can end the world. The truth: Nicholas Flamel was born in Paris on September 28, 1330. Nearly 700 years later, he is acknowledged as the greatest Alchemyst of his day. It is said that he discovered the secret of eternal life. The records show that he died in 1418. But his tomb is empty. The legend: Nicholas Flamel lives. But only because he has been making the elixir of life for centuries. The secret of eternal life is hidden within the book he protects; the Book of Abraham the Mage. It's the most powerful book that has ever existed. In the wrong hands, it will destroy the world. That's exactly what Dr. John Dee plans to do when he steals it. Humankind won't know what's happening until it's too late. And if the prophecy is right, Sophie and Josh Newman are the only ones with the power to save the world as we know it. Sometimes legends are true. And Sophie and Josh Newman are about to find themselves in the middle of the greatest legend of all time.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[OK I read a lot of young adult fantasy but this just wasn't one of my favorites.  I think the author tried to tie to much into one story.  Many fantasy novels use magic to explain historical events - fair enough, but this book tried to use magic to explain everything.  Too much name dropping; Shakes...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45308072">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Kelebihan dari buku Michael Scott ini adalah alurnya yang cepat, serta plotnya yang menantang (nah lho). Intinya, buku ini full-packed action! Settingnya di Amrik sono yang berlangsung selama 48 jam. Benar-benar mendebarkan. Ceritanya sendiri benar-benar unik.

    <body><![CDATA[      This is a book intended mainly for young adults, but I couldn't help but pick it up, being passingly familiar with the historical exploits of the two warring alchemists between these covers, Nicholas Flamel and Dr. John Dee.  In this book by Dublin author Michael Scott, two teenagers find them...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/56390806">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[     This book was a great combination history and fantasy. I was similar to the &quot;Harry Potter&quot; series, at least in the fact that each author seems to have an abundant amount of knowledge about myths, and foreign/ancient languages. <br/>     It was a great story that had multiple, action-...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/73252618">more...</a>]]></body>
