Excellent
A small book by a women who maneuvered her way onto an Egyptian digging expedition. This is more of the story of the people involved in the dig than it is of the science of archaeology but it is still a gem. You do get a lot of information about Nefertiti and her family. You won't hear her name and think about her the same way after reading this. Mary Chubb went on to become a real ...

A Very Fast-Paced Read
I roared through NEFERTITI in two days flat. I wasn't quite sure about it when I bought it, since ancient Egypt isn't necessarily a favorite time period of mine to read. However, I was hooked on page one and couldn't put it down. I liked the book's perspective from that of Mutny, Nefertiti's sister. It enabled the reader to really watch Nefertiti's ascension from spoiled brat into a great ...

Trilogy: The Love Generations
The cover of Trilogy: The Love Generations illustrates three strong women (the author, her mother, and her grandmother) who share an amazing gift, love. Extremely fitting as love is the general theme of this compilation. Many of these works illustrate the various stops along the cycle of love: that new romantic love, getting comfortable, the realization that something's not right, letting love ...

A delight for readers of all ages!
From the minute you open this book, you become Blue's partner-in-crime, as she takes you along for a wild adventure. This story has a child-like simplicity, and is a delightful experience for readers of all ages. The recipes at the end are an added bonus that serve as clever souvenirs for the reader to take with them into the kitchen (the popcorn balls were my favorite)! I especially enjoyed ...

review of Pharaohs of the Sun
An intriguing account of the life and rule of Akhenaten, one of the most controversial figures in Egyptian history. Akenaten, who is widely credited with being the world's first monotheist, rejected the well-established pantheon of gods and Egypt's capital to establish a new religious and government center at Aketaten, the "Horizon of the Aten." The authors attribute this to the fact that the ...

Nefertiti: Immortal Queen is form the POV of Thutmouse, the real life sculptor of the famous Nefertiti bust. The fictionalized story is about how Thutmose met and fell in love with Nefertiti, how he became a leading sculptor in the royal administration, and his enduring devotion to his Queen. The plot is full of factual history woven through fictionalized lives. I rate this history very ...

Her book is about the spirit of Queen Nefertiti, one of Egypt's greatest queens. Egypt lies in ruins and Queen Nefertiti allowed it to happen. The Queen cries out to the Gods and they take pity on her and send her spirit into the future, into the body of ...

Absolutely LOVED it!!!
Casting the Gods Adrift is a wonderfully written tale of an Egyptian boy's struggles between following his father and following the Pharaoh. Historically accurate and full of challenging vocabulary, this is a must read for anyone studying Ancient Egypt - or anyone who simply loves great literature!

Camille Paglia

Stunning
The pages of this book crackle with brilliance, audacity, egomania, exaggeration, wit, half-truths, whole truths, breath taking insights, razor sharp criticisms, etc. It is as much about the titannic intellect of Paglia as it is about art. Her feminism, deeply rooted in biology and nature, rather than absurdly elitist women's studies departments, is all you need to know about feminism that really ...

"Nefertiti; Mystery-Queen" review
This book was great! My name is Paola, and I am in 6th grade. This month (January) my class had 3 weeks to do a report on any Egyptian Leader. I picked Nefertiti! I found this book, "Nefertiti; Mystery Queen", and it was the formula to all my sources! I needed to write my report in first-person point-of-view, and this book gave me the right idea on how I should write my report. The pictures in ...

Hungry for More!
Sphinx's Princess is a fantastic read set in Ancient Egypt narrated by Nefertiti, one of the most beautiful and mysterious Egyptian queens known to the public. The background and historical references made in this book are enormous, and as far as I know (with my limited knowledge of Egyptian history and culture) were surprisingly accurate and interesting. The one area that I was disappointed ...

Excellent for middle school
If you are familiar with the Usbourne books, you'll know the format of this book without ever seeing it. It has 21 two page chapters. Each chapter has 3 to 6 women in it, with two or three paragraphs on each woman and lots of photos and illustrations. Perfect for the short attention span of middle schoolers and even appropriate for upper elementary children although they may have some ...

Excellent
Another of Lynda Robinson's excellent Lord Meren stories. I just wish she'd write some more. She manages to combine a feel for the period without over burdening the reader with unnecessary detail, while adding enough to give the whole work a charm sometimes lacking in historical whodunits. She also manages to suprise the reader with a conclusion that is totally logical, but unexpected. Most ...

A Memoir Extraordinaire
Mary Chubb's writing is highly readable and engaging. Her memoir opens on a dreary 1929 February morning in Bloomsbury England, when she finds herself in the basement of the local Egyptological Society offices as the secretary searching for some lost file. She finds instead an ancient Egyptian tile, taken from a dig at Tell el Amarna and stored in the Society's offices with the sand from Egypt ...

VENA's strange adventure
Film directors would be well advised to read this book because it contains a rare commodity--a unique story. Archaeologists digging in Egypt discover an odd artifact. Vena, the heroine of this strange story is drawn into a bizarre series of events, the consequences of which are tragic. Yet they raise intriguing questions regarding life, consciousness, and sources of ancient spiritual ...

A very good book to plunge into ancient Egypt
In my opinion, Joyce Tyldesley accomplishes an excelent recopilation of all science currently knows and theorizes about this queen and about the "Amarna" period in Ancient Egypt. What is excelent about it is that she does it in a very readable prose, explaining the nature of family relations, religion, social mobilization, and power during this period of Egyptian history. I loved this book and ...

AuthorZone.Com Book Review
Back in 1975, a dancer named Nefertiti (Doris Demarest-Nemeth) in Phoenix, Arizona began working on a "how to belly dance" book project. For unknown reasons, she did not complete the project. Decades later, her daughter decided to use the photos that had been taken for the book, add text, and finish the project. This book is the result. The format of this book is that of a simple "how to" manual ...
