Great Storyteller

Wilbur Smith has done it again with a great story of Egyptian adventure. I've enjoyed the whole series and although the Quest starts out a little slow it builds to a page turner.

R.L. Stine

Ballantine Books, 1984

Great story that involves the reader

All of the books in this series are fun for the reader, because they involve the reader in the story. In fact, the reader controls where the story goes. The plot in this book is great, as Indy and the reader take an adventure into the Himilayas. A great read especially for younger readers.

Why a reissue??

+ The mummy case

I love this series, and this title is a lot of fun, not least because of Ramses. I recommend the whole series to anyone who likes lighthearted mysteries, even though the later ones, set in and around WWI, are darker in tone. But my question remains... why are they reprinting this in hardback? ...
