Work detailsSphinx by Robin Cook (1979)
None. All in all a intriguing adventure where I found myself devouring the final chapters in order to get to the bottom of a, though not so spotless, rather well-woven plot. ( )Ugh, interesting story, utterly lacking characters, absolutely annoying main character. I was disappointed at first that this wasn't one of Cook's typical Medical Thrillers. However, I did end up enjoying the story. Erica Baron is a young Egyptologist, traveling through Egypt to fulfill a dream and to assert her independence. She becomes involved in a smuggling ring, meets an improbable number of strikingly handsome men, all of whom are predictably smitten with her and, ultimately, escapes with her life. This book reads like a wannabe romance. The main character's judgement is so questionable that it borders on feeble-mindedness. Not a bad read. Cooks is a solid writer of genre fiction but this is not one of his best. Erica Baron is an Egyptologist who goes to Egypt by herself on her first visit to Egypt. This book has alot of mystery and good descriptions. As I was reading this book, I began to think of Nancy Drew and her father telling her not to get into situations that would lead her into trouble. no reviews | add a review
