Negative Positive
Title: The author has issues
Review: Kudos to the people who were able to muddle through this. As far as I can tell the author is, at best, a literate misogynist. His summary of Hatshepsut's reign is offensive and completely contrary to scholarly understanding. According to him, Hatshepsut was but a greedy power monger under whose reign Egypt's imperial greatness was severely impared. No positive reference is made with regard to Hatshepsut and no reference to her is replete without an insult or an aspersion. I have little faith that I will gain any insight on Akhenaten from this book. If I could return this book, I would.
