Title: One of the worst
Product review: Ramses, Son of the Light has got to be one of the worst books I have ever read. In theory it should be good, with an Egyptian authority as author, and indeed, the detail of everyday life in ancient Egypt seems accurate. However, the quality of the writing, the switching from modern idiom to stilted and dull dialogue, all add up to a very poor read. I think this book may have lost something in translation and I will certainly not be reading the rest of the series. In comparison, Bernard Cornwell's Warlord trilogy (about King Arthur) is well written and convincing in its dialogue and description. Ramses just did not enthrall me with its trite and tedious prose.
