Search - The Egyptologist

I had anxiously awaited to receive this book to read, only to find out it is basically written in journal style/letters style, with little other than 1st person dialogue. Really felt discouraged on it, probably why there was a quick turn around in putting it back on my bookshelf to trade after receiving it the first week of September 2008. No thanks I'll pass on this author if this is how he writes, I was piqued with curiosity with his 'Prague' but lesser now.

A bit slow-moving at first, but a very intriguing plot.

Unexpectedly hilarious.

A book of unbelievable imagination. The writing is beautiful but as you read further you keep wondering how he came up with the idea for this story in the first place and how he was able to pull it off without a false note. Phillips is an uncommonly gifted writer (see his first book "Prague" and the followup to "The Egyptologist," "Angelica"). Highly recommended.
