Add a CommentI know there are a lot of fans of this series out there, but I could never quite get into it. The main characters (the twins) were not particularly well fleshed out, and the Nicholas Flamel character was virtually superfluous to the action from about the 3rd disc onward. Rather than build toward the fantastical elements of the story the story throws everything but the kitchen sink at the listener non-stop. Golems? OK. Immortal demigods? Sure. Magical auras? of course. Dinosaurs? Why not? Save yourself the frustration, read Harry Potter again.
