This book was a delight. The eventual resolution of the conflict was pretty obvious from early on, but that didn’t make the ending any less satisfying.

Kristina You've gone nuts! I have a few of these books you just added, if you ever want to borrow. (Brief History, Glass Books, Book Thief, Lake of Dead Languages... I also have some Egypt book by Zahi Hawass, but not the one you listed.)


Michelle Okay seriously. Take a break from reading and watch TV for once! I can't keep up with you!


Kristina Hey, this is fun! Thanks for giving me another way to spend too much time online. :)
