Publisher's Summary
Nicholas Flamel appeared in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter - but did you know he really lived? And his secrets aren't safe! Discover the truth in book one of the New York Times best-selling series The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel.
The truth: Nicholas Flamel's tomb is empty.
The legend: Nicholas Flamel lives.
Nicholas Flamel is the greatest Alchemyst to ever live. The records show that he died in 1418, but what if he's actually been making the elixir of life for centuries?
The secrets to eternal life are hidden within the book he protects - the Book of Abraham the Mage. It's the most powerful book that has ever existed, and in the wrong hands, it will destroy the world. And that's exactly what Dr. John Dee plans to do when he steals it.
There is one hope. If the prophecy is true, Sophie and Josh Newman have the power to save everyone. Now they just have to learn to use it.
“The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel has everything you loved about Harry Potter, including magic, mystery, and a constant battle of good versus evil.” (Bustle)

Am I supposed to hate the protagonists?
The story is decent, but it's hard to relate to the protagonists, two twins with an oddly affectionate relationship. The only emotion the pair evoke is annoyance. The character of the male twin is detestable, the female twin is helpless and both are whiny. Maybe these traits play into the rest of the series, I guess time will tell. If it's intentional, the author did a heck of a job.

Pretty good
Was looking for something to listening to following Harry Potter and LOTR series and someone suggested this. Actually pretty good and will be purchasing all of the books. The narrator isn’t my favourite and sometimes the audio gets quiet and then loud again. The story is a little immature and they repeat a lot of the same lines, enough to notice. Regardless i want to find out what happens in the books to come and a good fantasy option.

The voice actor is amazing!
I read and listened to this book and the experience is totally different because of the voice actor. He does all the accents, different voices and noises. It's amazing and it feels like the story is alive in your ears.
