this book consists of an adequate mixture of joy and exctasy and of a shrouded mist of foggy sorrow. the vivid reality of it so great that the characters leap from the pages. the famous nicholas flamel,emotionally resilient, a courageos old man and in j.k rowling fantastic first book, the main focus of the story, the fiery twins, who are unexplainably sucked into the mass adventure, and are one of the main heroines. the dark elders, bastet, the egiptian cat goddes and many more heroes and foes. this book is extremely well writen and is friendly from when you open it. The great language indicates of this books maturity level however it is manageable by most. it is fantastic and i enjoy it greatly, the next in the trilogy i found when i read it unbearable to part with and the sorceress the last is a great triumph and adventure.
