"This was the latest book of the series and after reading this I can't wait until the next one comes out! The twins, Sophie and Josh, start to get separated because Josh is getting jealous of how Sophie has learned more things than he has. He has been taken under Dr. John Dee's wing and is getting blinded by everything. I used to think Machiavelli and Billy the Kid were evil, but in fact they were actually against Dr. John Dee. It's sad how Nicholas Flamel is beginning to die, and a lot of people like Scathach are missing due to the fact that they're trying to protect everyone. I wish Sophie and Josh were fighting together instead of against each other because they wanted power."

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 ★ “[A] riveting fantasy . . . fabulous read.★ “Readers will be swept up.
— Kirkus Reviews, StarredFans of adventure fantasies like Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians series will eat this one up.
— VOYAAn exciting and impeccably thought-out fantasy, well-suited for those left in the lurch by Harry Potter’s recent exeunt.
— Booklist" Good continuation of the story, but it felt a little long. The end was a surprise for me. "
— Colleen, 2/4/2014" Oh my. The ending is VERY suspenseful. I can't BELEIVE how gullible Josh is! I'm groaning at his decisions! I feel so bad, how could he know how the believe? This would be so scary if the monsters get released. "
— Sarah, 1/30/2014" Like the other books, I very much enjoyed The Warlock. I especially liked the fast-paced action and the twist at the end. I did have trouble with the vinmas, the flying craft, in the novel. At one point I felt like I was reading a description of a fight between the Millennium Falcon and the smaller crafts in Star Wars. Not being overly familiar with Eastern mythology, I was surprised to learn that these crafts did come from Indian mythology. I'm very much looking forward to the next and last book in the series, and I'm not thrilled that I have to wait until summer 2012 for it. "
— Cherylann, 1/20/2014" It was good. Very non-christian worldview though. "
— Ianna, 1/10/2014" This is by far the most enjoyable among the series. History and legends are full of valuable lessons of life and the Warlock captures it better than the series before, which has become almost boring with too many meaningless creatures. I almost gave up, not wanting to continue, but now I look forward to reading the last one. "
— Siska, 1/1/2014" This was a great read and it ended with a shocking realisation about the twins' parents. The cliffhanger made me yearn to discover more secrets. "
— Cadence, 12/25/2013" I did not realize this was number 5 in the series, I don't feel like I missed anything from 2 through 5 so I guess I am done with this series also. It was OK, had some smiles mixed in, but seemed to move fairly slowly. Aunt Agnes is explained in this one and her connection to the twins. "
— Lee, 9/28/2013" An interesting read. Still too much woe is me and teenage attitude. "
— Kevin, 9/25/2013" Action packed! God! Can't wait for the last book! "
— Kenneth, 9/10/2013" As excellent as the rest of the series! Now on to The Enchantress!! "
— Peggy, 3/18/2013" This never ending adventure is becoming tiresome for me. I'm sure the kids will love this never ending story if the next book comes out more quickly than this one did. "
— Kirby, 6/14/2012" This volume of the book was splended, and i couldn't believe what the twins parents were. "
— Jason, 6/11/2012" Again - an ending leaving you hanging and wanting more! Ready for the final book to be released! "
— Liesl, 1/18/2012" OMG. I'll give this a higher rating than what I had intended just for that ending! "
— Lianne, 10/10/2011" Only one book left to this awesome series! "
— Jonathan, 10/3/2011" The last paragraph twist!!!! Aaaaaaaaa! "
— Maggie, 6/14/2011" Really liked this book, but the series is starting to feel pretty drawn out. I think the next book is the last one and that's probably good. "
— Jess, 6/2/2011" Can't wait for the next one! "
— Emily, 6/2/2011" I love this series, and I love the thought process the author has and his ideas along with the way he conveys them. That being said, I really feel like the series should have been condensed into something like three books, instead of six. "
— Devcoch, 6/2/2011" Wow! Finally back to a decent book after the dull Necromancer. This one was great! How will we wait till next summer for the finale? "
— Jennifer, 5/31/2011" Liked it...Love how the notion of good and evil is tested..Story is dragging on more than I liked..can't quite wrap my head around how 5 books were written in a time space of one week of the characters' lives..a little far-fetched. "
— Mimisode, 5/31/2011" An enjoyable installation in this series.<br/>Looks like next summer we can expect the conclusion. "
— Kathy, 5/29/2011" I preordered this in Amazon a couple of months back and I am severely disappointed. Stopped reading this at 40 per cent. Too many characters being bandied about without proper introductions or fleshing out. I have no empathy for Josh and Sophie either. Rick Riordan is still the best at this genre. "
— Rcg77, 5/28/2011" Fun, fun read. And now we wait for the next one--argh. "
