The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel Boxed Set (3-Book)

This is for one of many nephews and I'm super excited for him to open for Christmas. Thankfully books get shared amongst the many and turn out to be good conversations for the young men to have in the world if books. Shipped quickly, arrived in great condition and price was awesome. Thanks!

My son is obsessed. Good durable books with lots of information

These books are page turners. Only mad that I waited so long to get them.

My sons - ages 8 and 10 when they read these books - loved these books. This set was purchased as a gift for another child who loves to read because my kids wouldn't let go of their copies. My kids tell me that these books had wonderful plots and were written in a way that held their interest Summary from my kids: There are a pair of twins who are the most powerful people ever. One is destined to save the world and the other is destined to destroy an ancient world - the "bad" world. Nicholas Flamel and his wife are looking for these twins their entire life and are guarding the codex which has the knowledge to destroy the world or save the world. Magic, sorcery are the main themes. Appropriate for kids above age 9 or 10 in general, possibly younger if they are good readers. Excellent tween level writing. Certainly gripping for my kids. This is just the first part of the series - there is another set of three books that follow. Highly recommended.

Great book set

I got this trilogy for a gift, and realized later (when I friend noticed) that I was going to be wrapping duplicate books. (I have the 6-book complete series, too, and I did end up returning this trilogy, but he’s read them - from the 6-book set). He did enjoy them, though!

It's tough to find suitable books for a younger kid who reads at a high level - books tend to get all boyfriend/girlfriend-y or just themes that are way way too dark (think end of 4th Harry Potter book and onward). This series definitely does have some killing, but it's not crazy horrible or super evil, and it revolves around the twin relationship, not any sort of girlfriend/boyfriend stuff. I also liked that the author explained the 'factual basis' at the end of the first book. I've enjoyed it as much as my nine year old has, and I don't feel bad about letting him read it. (He's still begging me to read Harry Potter 5-7, but he's at least mildly appeased for the moment... :)

Effortlessly blends historical and mythological with the modern world. Action and explanations seem to come at just the right, and the story flows perfectly.

I rarely have enjoyed three books so much and am off to buy the next three. I know a little bit about alchemy, more about mythology, so it was wonderful to get a glimpse into a different approach to both. The twins carry the books well but the Flamels and supporting characters are great. I'm hoping we get another glimpse into Mars Ulthor's life. And how are they going to get Joan and Scathach back??

After Harry Potter it took a while for my son to find a serie he loved, that one is one of them now. It is very well written and the cover in this edition is really beautiful better than the more modern one which is cheaper. The box set is lovely but now we have to buy the next 2 books : the necromancer and warlock. Books to read and re-read!

My 12-year-old son had not previously read books by this author but when he received these for Christmas, he was glued to them! He now wants to buy more like this.

Ich hoffe hier erwartet niemand Rezensionen zu allen drei Büchern ;P Diese kann man ja wunderbar bei den einzelnen Büchern nachlesen. Ich wollte einfach mal meine Meinung zu dieser Buch-Box loswerden. Es besteht ja öfters das Problem, das Buch-Boxen, die mehrere Bände umschließen aus "schlechterem" Material gemacht wurde. Hier ist das aber nicht der Fall. Die Box ist stabil und schick. Die Bücher sind aus gutem Papier und die Buchrücken sind sehr weich, wodurch die TB beim lesen nicht knicken - so etwas kommt bei Mass Market Büchern oft vor! Alles in allem also für den Preis ein kleiner Schatz fürs Buchregal! :)

His story is more than just Philosopher's Stone and immortality. Michael Scott has woven the tale of lengedary Nicholas Flamel with his wit and wisdom so alluring that you will feel the urge to read this book ASAP. Obviously I took the book everywhere I went I started reading whenever I got the chance. It tells the tale of the Alchemyst his wife Perenelle, the twins and their immortal enemy Dr John Dee. Book has all the moment of mystery, magic, twists and turns some historic facts and some legends. All together it's a book worth reading if you are a fan of fiction genre.
