[HPFGU-OTChatter] Book: The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel - anybody read this?

[Eric Bowling]

  Steve/bboyminn:

  I was in the bookstore the other day, and saw a series of books
  called "The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel" by Michael
  Scott. Currently, it is a series of three "The Magician", "The 
  Alchemist", and now "The Sorceress"; eventually to be a series 
  of 6.

  I'm wondering if anyone is familiar with these or has read them?

  Just trying to get some sense of whether they are worth spending
  money on. <snip>
  

Eric:
I'm reading "The Sorceress" right now! It's okay. Not Harry 
Potter, but then again, it's not trying to be. It's not as 
sophisticated as the later HP novels in terms of reading level, 
but if you liked PoA, it's around that level. There's a lot of 
mythological plot and characters and sometimes even for someone 
like me getting their MA in Childrens Lit, it can seem like 
there's way to much being thrown at you at once, but it is a 
very well-written work despite its few flaws. I'd recommend it 
for a good lazy summer read!!
