Jessie S. (----strangeling) reviewed on 5/31/2006 + 48 more book reviews

I liked this book enough to hope to read the second book in the series, but it wasn't really spectacular or anything. It did keep me interested through out, and curious about some of the historical information it contains, wanting to learn more about alchemy. I did find some of the subject matter to perhaps be a bit heavy for the intended audience - the debate of whether one can practice something considered occult and at the same time be Christian, the idea of 'playing god' and creating a being from dead matter, Beelzebub, etc. Overall, it was pretty intriguing to read.
