Mrs. Rice has done a lot better. Okay story. ( )

This was one of the earlier books that I read by Rice. It is a wonderfully told tale full of great characterizations and exceptional imagery. It tells the tale of a love that spans the ages, that even death can't destroy. Female readers will be helpless to fall in love with Ramses, and male readers will identify wth his neverending passon.

Classic Anne Rice, excellent novel. My only complaint was that the killing rampage was a little much. I think that is more about personal taste, though. And I liked that it was a little naughtier than the Interview with a Vampire Chronicles. I can't tell, but did she right a sequel to this particular novel, or does it stand alone? ( )

ok I didnt completely finish, actually I just started the book so im no exactly sure what its all about. Well obviously its about a mummy but I cant go into detail. Anne Rice has been one of my favorite Authors because most of her books have a scarry theme to them. People who love horror should give this book a try. I really like the book so far! ( )

An easy, fun read--but it didn't really grab me like I was hoping it would. For one thing, Julie--the heroine is incredible boring and Alex? Zzzzzzz.

The side/supportive characters are where it's at. Elliott, Henry, Ramses and Cleopatra--and Cleopatra is awesome-

Personally, I think a better story would have been Ramses and Cleopatra during Cleopatra's time.

Definitely worth reading if you like Anne Rice or ancient Egypt. ( )
