"I enjoyed this mix of fictional characters telling a non-fictional story. The writing and facts were fun to read and having the Emersons thrown into the story was a fun touch. This is a book I can going back to time and again."
"(3.5 stars) A nice primer for the history of egyptology and a lovely compendium of all things Peabody. I would have loved even more chapters on ancient Egyptian history and daily life, though I admit any more than a brief overview would not be relevant to the Peabody mysteries. I appreciate the selected sources in the back so I can delve further into some of the topics introduced in the essays."
"This book creates humor in the spaces between its play on real Egyptian history, archeology, women's studies, historiography, and the fake history of Amelia Peabody (a character from Elizabeth Peters mystery series).
Some of the humor is subtle but it gets me every time. It is so easy to get caught up in the worlds Peters makes. Her Amelia Peabody books certainly will bring out the geek in every reader."
