مختصرة عن الاسكريبت الخاص بالفيلم.
في العام المنتظر فيه عودة الملك العقرب, تقوم حبيبة امنتوحتب بمحاولة إرجاعه, تتشابك الأحداث وتتصاعد بوتيرة عادية بالنسبة لفيلم سينمائي.

قرأت نسخة إنجليزية تعليمية من دار بنجوين.
نسخة مختصرة من القصة, لأن العمر أقصر من أن أحيط بكل الروايات الكلاسيكية السابقة التي فاتتني. وأنا أريد فعلاً أن ألم بهم.

This was okay. After reading the Indiana Jones books, I can say that this wasn't really good. The perspective I have now gained has allowed me to say this was a huge disappointment. I wish it was more limited in its third person. I wish Rick stopped reminding us of his utter devotion to Evy in his head. We got it after the second time you thought it and based on the movies.
I love this movie and the cartoon based of the movie so much but not the book. I still want to find the first book in paperback but I'm not certain I will read it. I just don't like having only the second book.

The tall, strong young man walks across the desert. There are a lot of dead soldiers, his soldiers, on the ground at his feet.

This book was a far cry from the movie, which I adore.
When I requested this book from the library, I'd been under the impression that it was a novelization of the book, instead of a kid's version of it.
It was almost painful to read it was so dumbed down.
This book was even worse than the first one. The scarabs were called 'little animals'. If anything, they are bugs.

Again one of my favorite movies growing up, just had to. And this edition was very short too, only 38 pages.
