Title: A great book BUT very repetitive
Review: The focus of this book is to go into ever more detail about how to read tomb inscriptions. It is a nice way to learn hieroglyphics if you are really, really keen on doing this for its own sake. I would add, though, the caveats that:* the book assumes that you are familiar with grammar (participles etc.) - unfortunately I am not;* going around and around the same the tomb inscriptions in increasing detail became boring and overly repetitive for my taste; I expected to start with short sentences and go on to read full paragraphs from Egyptian literature (as does "Athenaze" for Greek) rather than solely tomb inscriptions.
Is the review positive or negative?
