Summer of the Dragon Audiobook

" My first EP book, and one of my absolute faves. Originally read sometime in the 80s and re-read many times more. Who doesn't love heroines whose jeans are too tight because of too many of those little cream puffs! "

" Not quite enough character development, not enough plot detail, not enough about anthropology... "

" Liked it. Little mystery but not too scary for a baby like me. Going to try another by this author. Thanks Tara! "

" I liked the archaeological details of the plot in this one--always one of Peters' strongest points. I also enjoyed all the colorful characters, and the lovely descriptions. What I didn't buy, unfortunately, was the romance between the main characters. Maybe because arguing is not my favorite form of flirtation--I just don't find it sexy. I also don't think it's EVER right for a man to spank a woman just because he's frustrated with her. Just, ew. "

" I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Pure fun! "

" A really good read. Gripping despite the fact that it takes place almost entirely in one setting, of the mansion. "

" Anthropologist goes up against loonies in AZ "

" Consistently one of my favorites of Elizabeth Peters' independent mysteries. This was also the first Elizabeth Peters book I read, which may have something to do with my preference . . . "

" A fun quick read with a bit of romance and a bit of mystery and a ton of humor. The mystery isn't obvious, but it isn't rocket science either - just my style. I didn't have to strain my brain to figure out esoteric clues and I got to enjoy the ride. "

" Very formulaic, I kept waiting for Scubby and Shaggy to chime in. I'm a sucker for strong female characters so it was enjoyable on that front. The plot was weak at best. Nice deversion from the heavy books I have been trying to get through lately. All around a bubble gum read. "

" In this "can't put it down" book by Elizabeth Peters, you will go on an adventure to the Arizona desert on a search for crazy squatters, lost treasure, and dragon bones. This book is a combination of all genres, and is quite satisfying. "

" Not quite as suspenseful as some of her other books - it was particularly easy for me to figure out who the culprit was. "

" I lost my copy of this book. Hopefully I can find it at one of the used bookstores. "

" Not my favorite of her books. "

" Not my favorite of her books. "

" For those who love mysteries,archaelogy and laughter this is the book to read. "

" Poorly crafted, cardboard characters who act in unrealistic ways, constant unnecessary bickering between characters wears on the nerves. "

" Delightful! Take a graduate student escaping Classical archeology into anthropology, add Arizona sunsets and glowing turquoise, and you have a fun read. It's a mystery and a light romance, but mostly it's an excuse to remember Arizona and wallow in the richly described experiences. "

" I'm a big fan of Elizabeth Peters. It's my one reading vice ;p "

" I listened to this book which is set in Arizona. The mystery surrounds the 'find' of eccentric Hank. He won't tell what it is and someone is going to great lentghs to make sure no one sees it. Who and why, well those are the questions to be answered. "

" Young woman working on PhD leaves Ohio to work at an exclusive ranch in Arizona to help a rich man with his search for antiquities. Gutsy, smart woman and an antagonistic male scholar butt heads trying to figure out what is happening and who is sabotaging the work. "

" I really enjoyed this book - the mystery was engaging and I loved the central character with all her outrageous attitudes. "

" This is my absolute favorite of the Elizabeth Peters single books. I can't even tell you how many times I have read it. "

" Of all of Elizabeth Peters stand-alone books, this is by far my favorite, probably because I love a girl who loves to eat. "

" just a light, evening read. "

" I love when I get to go on an adventure with Elizabeth Peters. I find myself smiling every time I pick up one if her books to read. What fun it would be to forage around in her brain! "

" A really good read. Gripping despite the fact that it takes place almost entirely in one setting, of the mansion. "

" Spunky, cute, but predictable. Over all a fun read. "

" An eccentric AZ rancher gets help from an archeologist. The ranchers discovery ends up deadly and he doesn't even know for sure what he found. I love the way she gives you many suspects, sends you looking in all directions and always wrappes up the mystery and romance beautifully. "

" just a light, evening read. "

" I enjoyed this book; the setting was different for Peters since it was Arizona and the desert. The characterization was good, and I liked the female protagonist. It is not her strongest book, though; I would note, too, that it's one of her earlier novels. "

" Quite enjoyed this one. I didn't guess the ending although in hind sight I guess it was a little predictable. Listened to the audio version. "

" Such a fun read! The main character DJ is one of the most likeable ones I've come across. I loved the wonderful narrative. She is delightful The mystery was interesting. There were some great characters. "

" Another good read :) Stand alone set in the desert outside of Arizona. An anthropologist has a summer intern job with a fabulously wealthy eccentric. Fun characters. Nice mystery and a little romance. The heroine loves to eat and is funny. "

" I enjoy just about anything from Elizabeth Peters and this was no different. I'm constantly amazed at her characters, and the slow reveal of the danger to them and the final resolution of the mystery. It's nice to read a story that ends on an upbeat, too. A good summer read. "
