Es una lectura amena y accesible, pero muy introductoria. En la edición española la calidad de las hojas no es muy buena para los que acostumbren a poner etiquetas y anotaciones, ya que a la mínima se estropean. Las fotografías están en blanco y negro, algo que suele pasar en muchos libros, pero en este caso le resta bastantes puntos ya que serían necesarias en color. Me quedo con ganas de leer más libros sobre esta temática que estén más completos. Lo mejor sin duda es la autora del libro, una reconocida egiptóloga y la razón por la que no dudé en adquirir el libro.
