The Warlock by Michael Scott (reviewed by Carolyn Adkins)

The Warlock, The Secret of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel, is the 5th book in the 6 book series by mythological writer Michael Scott. Do you know what’s better than seeing William Shakespeare battle non-human creatures on space ships? Nothing. Which is exactly what happened in this book, nothing. It was boring! The battles were lame and the story only advanced what, a couple of hours? Going back and forth to four or five different locations with different characters, being introduced to characters that have nothing to do with the plot, and being told one thing then told another all amounted to one thing. Yes, you must go through the entire boring and drab book, where nothing happens, to read the last sentence. The last sentence, not even the last paragraph, the last sentence is probably the biggest twist in the entire series! I highly recommend this book, just as long as you read the first four, just so you can read that last sentence. And to watch William Shakespeare battle non-human creatures on space ships.

Oh, Carolyn - this was hilarious! I love an honest review, but is anything more frustrating than when a series doesn't turn out the way you want? Click here check our catalog to see if The Warlock is on our shelves so you can see if you agree with Carolyn.
