Shelley S. reviewed on 8/9/2005 + 5 more book reviews

Mailer transports us to ancient Egypt. The characters come alive through the timeless foibles of lust, vanity, pride, and greed, etc. And yet, are as lovingly formed as if from mud from the very banks of the ancient Nile. Mailer makes even the ancient gods breath life in one of his more fun novels.
