Customer Reviews

Dr. John Dee will set you free.

The twins, “Josh and Sophie,” start the day as normal to find that people they thought they knew, they did not know, and a sane, mundane world is anything but. Soon they find themselves part of a ten-thousand-year-old prophecy that may bring about the demise of the world as we know it. Needless to say, I was drawn into this title by the name of Nicolas Flámel. Instead of a biography, I found a story that incorporated many mythical creatures and historic events into a consistent chase of bad guys against good guys that covers many of the world’s well-known landmarks, mostly in California or offshore. My favorite character is the Witch of Endor, only a granddaughter could love. One warning is that this book is a true cliffhanger and of no use without the second book. If you are a Kendal user, then you may not want to buy any of Michael Scott’s books until he authorizes “speech enable.”
