The Curse of the Cheese Pyramid

This book/series isn’t one that I’m a very big fan of, but that may just be because of my age. I think it’s a hard format to follow, no matter how old you are. Even though the pages are fun and colorful, there are words spiraling around the page and in crazy fonts, and I can’t imagine it’s very easy for a kid to read. That being said, the plot of the book, the characters, and the illustrations made it a fun story to read. This book is funny, but also covers educational topics, such as science and history.

We enjoyed the first book more. This one had a lot of stuff to teach the young ones about Egyptian history, but the plot is almost non-existent. Geronimo spends so little time in Egypt and there's not much adventuring elsewhere.

Hopefully the series picks up from here.

ABOUT: Things change for Geronimo after his Grandfather takes over the business. He sells all of Geronimo's things, and is constantly telling him to be more careful with his money, he also fires all of Geronimo's employees and makes Geronimo go to Egypt to investigate a story down there. Ok, maybe the last one isn't so bad. Geronimo's always wanted to go to Egypt, but how many wrong things can happen on this trip.....
REVIEW: This story is a short fun read. And when I say short I mean I finished it in less than an hour. It's only 112 pages and full of pictures. Also the funny story line helps it move along faster along with the interesting characters we meet along the way.
THE GOOD: The last Geronimo Stilton book I reviewed I said I show more was disappointed in and I hoped this one would be better. I remembered the books being funny and full of great characters which the first book didn't seem to follow. This book didn't disappoint. In fact that's why I labled this part THE GOOD, and not THE BAD like usual. There is nothing bad that I can think of. Great story line. Unlike the first book it had lots of funny twists, which is what I missed. It also has funny characters, and will keep the reader reading till the end. I still say it's for a younger audience but it is a lot better than the first. I just hope the series continues this way.
Will Geronimo get control of his office back? What kind of story is Geronimo in for when he gets to Egypt? Will he even make it there? Read "The Curse of the Cheese Pyramid" to find out. show less

The story is very funny, and the book is fun to read because of the colorful pictures and text, but the plot is too childish, and it lacks adventure, considering his adventures at the pyramids are way too short and at the airplane too long, but overall it's a nice book and good for kids.

I still think the Geronimo Stilton books are cute. Especially for kids. This time Geronimo's grandfather has come to change the paper that Geronimo runs. He tries to save money by cutting whatever he can, including electricity. But, he sends Geronimo to Egypt for a story. A professor has learned to make energy and Geronimo is supposed to learn how. But, bad things happen as he is learning and he never gets the story he came for. When he gets back to the paper, he comes up with a plan to get his grandfather out of there for good. In the end, Geronimo gets his paper back and an adventure story from Egypt.

Funny, entertaining and educational.

Kids can learn a lot about ancient Egypt from this book by enjoying the exciting story.


This is a review based on an ARC provided by NetGalley.

I thought it was very good, and funny and quite easy to read. It is mainly about a mouse who is going to Egypt and meets a professor. The professor gets lost in a pyramid and comes back but his memory goes away, and Geronimo Stilton flies back first class.
