"I really loved this book. It gave a great overview of life in Ancient Egypt. I did have a hard time in the chapter about Magic, and the one of religion also was a little confusing, so I'd have to read those again. I also liked the way she wrote it. It was a lot like her fiction mystery series and not like a non-fiction. I'm going to read her other non-fiction next."
"Barbara Mertz is an Egyptologist who also writes the Amelia Peabody Mystery series under the name "Elizabeth Peters". This book is a nonfiction account of what it would have been like to have lived in Ancient Egypt covering practical things like what they ate, what they wore, cosmetics, furniture, how they raised children and pets as well as bigger things like military service, religion, and art. This could have been very dry, but her skills as a mystery writer serve her well in this book. She manages to make every chapter entertaining as well as educational."
"I figured I've skimmed this book enough to call it read. It's one of those books I will and do use for reference. It's good for the historical writer. It has a lot of information I have never been able to find on the internet. And it isn't written like a textbook."
