I've Been Busy (Not Really)

I finished this book recently and decided it would be good to put down my thoughts about it, since it's been talked about a lot.

The book is about two twins, Josh and Sophie Newman, who discover that the bookseller that Josh works for is actually the immortal Nicholas Flamel. Flamel and his wife, Perenelle, are the guardians of the Book of Abraham, which is a collection of magical spells, prophecies, and various other things. When the evil Dr. John Dee finds Flamel, he attacks and steals the book. Josh and Sophie help Flamel in recovering it, but are soon hunted by Dee as well.

I thought the book was a little boring, especially in the beginning. The characters don't really have strong personalities, so it's kind of hard to connect with them. (Listen to me, acting like I actually know stuff.) The story is interesting though, once you get about halfway through the book.

Apparently it's being turned into a movie, so we'll see how that goes.



This is the most recent book in my new favorite series. It's the sixth book, and there are still more to come. This one only just came out on March 10, I think. I'm not sure on that date. Maybe it was the ninth. I read this entire book in about four hours. Anyway, this entire series is amazing. I was a little skeptical about it at first, but now I can't wait till the next one comes out! Hurry up, James Patterson! It's been over a month since this one came!

Anyway.

They're making a movie for this series as well. I think it comes out 2013, so there's still a wait. It's rumored that the director for the Twilight movies is going to direct it, and Kristen Stewart and what's-his-face-Pattinson are going to play the two main characters. Kristen I have no problem with, but that stupid vampire guy? Nononononononononono! Robert playing Fang could quite possibly be the worst thing that could happen.

Ahem. Continuing. So now I'm going to start reading The Magician, which is the second Nicholas Flamel book.
