Title: Too much tea and not enough substance
Review: This is one of the most boring books I've ever read. All the Edwardian posturing and pseudo-language, way too much dialogue (much of which is racist), and the total absence of believable character development, have left me skimming over page after page to get to the end of this waste of money. Rather than ever show an emotion or break that phony stiff upper lip attitude, they resort to various rooms and locations to banter about ridiculous Edwardian behavior and drink tea or variously, whiskey and soda. This waste of paper is about social class and conversation. No one was ever in danger, the villains are not dangerous and the glories of Egypt are barely a backdrop for a car load of arrogant Brits sailing up and down the Nile. My first and only Peabody novel. Disgusting.
Is the review positive or negative?
