williameldon's review against another edition
2.0
I tried to like this book. I really tried. It has a very good premise and all the elements needed, but the writing falls flat fast like a bad pancake. Or week old root beer. Anyway, the many sub plots bouncing around back and forth get tiresome fast and I wound up just skipping the last chapter. I enjoyed the mummy element and some of the quirkiness. But beyond that, I just felt the story got lost and the further I got along, the less interested I became. Perhaps this would make a better movie with the frenetic scene changes better suited to visuals.
