Negative Positive
Title: yuck
Review: this book was recommended to me because of my interest in Egyptology and the late 19th early 20th century era of exploration... and a love of Jane Austen and other 19th century women writers. But this book is not of that caliber. The main character/narrator was one of the most annoying I have ever encountered. And her husband [the other main character] was a pompous idiot whom she adored - and loved having sex with, apparently. I enjoy good banter and did like those old Hepburn/Tracy movies even as they made me cringe sometimes. But these two... ugh. The soap-opera nature of the mystery did not help either. I really cannot recommend this book... but I know it has been popular with others.
Is the review positive or negative?
