Not that there was anything to turn teens off, but I didn't really see anything to turn them on either. Has the look of a graphic novel full of maturity. (  ) TeenCentral | Jul 11, 2009 |  This French graphic novel about the romance / action-caper between an Egyptologist's daughter and a walking, talking, rather charming mummy - set in 19th century London, no less - sold me on the premise alone. Didn't quite live up to my expectations, but still pretty decent. (  ) duck2ducks | Sep 4, 2008 | Graphic novel, recommended to me by my sister. Beautiful illustrations and a fantastic, hilarious story. I recommend it to pretty much anyone. (  ) bluesalamanders | Jul 31, 2008 | www.bostonbibliophile.com/2008/07/graphic-novel-mondaythe-professors.html (  ) bostonbibliophile | Jul 18, 2008 | This book is about the daughter of an Egyptology Professor who falls in love with a mummy. The Professor's daughter and the mummy must fight for their love; Archaeologists try to put the mummy back where he belongs (in the British Museum). This is quite an amusing read and I would highly recommend it. I read it in half an hour, it really is a page turner! E.Y. unihighlibrary | May 2, 2008 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 159643130X, Paperback)Imhotep IV is an Egyptian mummy who’s just opened his eyes for the first time in 3,000 years. Lillian Bowell is the daughter of a renowned Egyptologist. One day, when the Professor’s away, the two go out for an afternoon on the town. The heap of trouble that they land in—brought on by Mozart, afternoon tea, and a passing gentleman’s sensitive nature—only deepens when they learn Imhotep IV’s father is in town. Can Imhotep IV and Lillian stay together when both their fathers, the London Police, and even the Archeological society are desperate to drag them apart? Written by the hilarious and insightful Joann Sfar and painted in muted, sepia-toned watercolors by Emmanuel Guibert, this book is something to keep as a display piece, a thing of beauty—if you can put down the engaging story long enough for others to admire it!
