Review :

Ini bukan buku M/M Romance lho. Nih buku bergenre fiction and fantasy buat teen adult, tapi cukup menarik buat disimak untuk semua umur. Apalagi buat yang menyukai buku2 yang mengisahkan petualangan yang seru dan menarik diikuti dngan Magic dan Mythos. In my opinion, ni buku ga kalah dengan Harry Potter, malah gua lebih suka buku ini drpd Harry Potter (Hey, no offense buat Harry Potter fans). Ceritanya seru, ringan, penuh dengan Magic dan enak dibaca.

Story starts with Sophie and Josh Newman, the twin-15 year-old siblings take summer jobs in San Francisco. Sophie works at coffee shop and Josh works at bookstore owned by Nick and Perry Fleming. They don't realize that Nick Fleming is Nicholas Flamel, the 14th-century alchemist who could turn base metal into gold, and make a potion that ensures immortality until Dr. John Dee, the enemy who is also immortal comes into bookstore with his golem and start attacking Nicholas Flamel and Josh. Dr. John Dee looking for rare book "Codex" an ancient text of magical wisdom, which he is succeeded by snatching it from Nicholas Flamel. The problem is, without that book, Nicholas couldn't make potion for his and his wife immortality, and he is only has 30 days, before he died. Each day passed, Nicholas getting older 1 year and he is aging faster. And lately, Josh and Sophie learn that they are the Twin which mentioned in the Codex's prophecies: "The two that are one will come either to save or to destroy the world."

I really like this book, besides the story I really feel the connection between Josh and Sophie as Twin. I have a sister, she is 3 years older than me, but the strange things, We feel like a Twin. We have a connection, something like that even though we are different and obviously opposites, and not a Twin. If she is fire, then I am water. Something like that. The funny things, usually after she is sick, and she's getting better, then it's my turn getting sick. Yuck, It's suck ! :: I don't like getting sick ::

So, for everyone who likes enjoy reading book, and dreaming and fantasy, and you wanna bring the feeling and memories when you are still young or teen, (Hey, No offense People !) (I, Myself still like to dreaming even though I'm not a boy anymore) I know I know, I'm a man now. Yeah, lucky me.

Now, available the sequel of this book - " The Magician " and soon in May will be released the third - " The Sorceress "
