Title: What a Disappointment
Product review: I was eagerly anticipating this book. I have enjoyed Lindskold's past books and Egypt is always an interesting subject. Imagine my dismay when the book ends up being a dud. The characters were very superficial with little personality, it was difficult to sympathize/relate with any of them. And though the book is seemingly set in the late 19th/early 20th century there was glaringly obvious modern slang in many of the character's speech. And the plot, sigh, the plot started out with a decent premise but was bogged down with irrelevant side stories and a lack luster finale. I do not blame this on Ms. Lindskold, this is clearly the work, or lack thereof, on the part of her editors. A little pruning here and there, and some constructive criticism on their part and this could have been a great book. Unfortunately, as seems to happen all too often, the editor's apparently functioned as highly paid spellcheckers. Do yourself a favor and skip this book.
