Title: Yawn! What a disappointment.
Product review: I was truly disappointed in this book. I COMPLETELY agree with the reviewer who called it "Ramses for Dummies". Perhaps it is the translation, but there is no character development, no meaningful dialog, and since any person with any knowledge of history already knows how its going to turn out, the plot really doesn't matter. Furthermore, the language and motivation of the characters resembles too closely those of modern times. I don't know how an author can make such an inherently interesting subject so DULL! I only finished it because I was on a plane and trapped without anything else to read.For those of you who like novels set in ancient Eygpt, I recommend Lynda Robinson's Lord Meren mystery series. These books are infinately more enjoyable, and so well written that I enjoy re-reading them, even though I already know "whodunnit". P.S. -- For another good historical series, I highly recommend Lindsey Davis' Didius Falco novels, which are set in ancient Rome.
