"I found this book to be suspenseful and entertaining; however, in some ways it was a bit tedious. The Egyptology language and terminology was a bit challenging."
"This is the ninth book in the series and the best one since #6! The "editor" who is actually the narrator has included journal excerpts from other characters to round out the story and provide insight into the younger Emersons. If I weren't already in love with Ramses, I would have been after this book!"
This is the first book where Walter can be considered a "grown up" and as such he is suddenly a much more interesting character, the relationship with his mother changes (for the better) and his sense of humor is allowed to shine.
Plot? Oh who cares! The narrative, the characters, the parasols are enough, you don't NEED a plot, it's just enjoyable to be in these character's company. Needless to say, the plot is the usual mix of bad eggs and the usual shenanigans.
