Negative Positive
Title: Insightful
Review: Don't let the thinness of "From Pharaoh's Lips" fool you. This book is not an easy read at all. This would be especially true for anyone who is not either a student of Egyptian Arabic in specifics and/or also studying Middle Egyptian. To really appreciate the book, doing either or both of these things is probably a very good idea. If tracing the history of an ancient language into the modern day is not already within the realm of interest to you, you probably will not enjoy the book. If, however, you want to understand how modern Egyptians think and interact in the modern day and how it relates to their historical and cultural past, the book is fascinating.
