Negative Positive
Title: Pompous and arrogant
Review: I had high hopes for this book, as it had come strongly recommended to me. What a disappointment! I found it difficult to relate to any of the characters, who struck me as either overbearing bulldozers or understated doormats. Peters' knowledge of Egyptology is indeed impressive and definitely the only enjoyable part of this book. But for the mystery itself: by the time I was halfway through, the solution was so obvious to me that the perpetrators may as well have been announcing their intentions on a microphone. I was relieved when it was over.
Is the review positive or negative?
