Title: Four Stars
Product review: I did not like this one as much as I enjoyed RIVER GOD mostly because this takes place present day while RIVER GOD takes place 4,000 years ago. However, I found it to be a very good read, enjoyable and interesting. The descriptions are well written; however, I found some adjectives to be pretentious, and I feel that the disturbing scene a little more than half way through the book is too much. After reading RIVER GOD, I thought Wilbur Smith MIGHT be tied with my favorite author Marion Zimmer-Bradley. But, now that I've read THE SEVENTH SCROLL, that is not the case. While I give every novel in Zimmer-Bradly's Avalon series five stars, Smith's Ancient Egypt series has gone down to four stars on the second book. I do plan on reading WARLOCK, but if there are disturbing, gory scenes in that book I will have to conclude that Smith is not for me in particular. Until then...
