The Ape Who Guards the Balance Audiobook

" I love Elizabeth Peters books. I learn a lot about Egypt "

" Another good Amelia Peabody book. I seem to enjoy the stories where the kids are older and more involved in the stories like in this book. "

" Damnation! Immensely enjoyable! "

" Number 10 in the series, and I'm still enjoying the rather silly adventures of Peabody, Emerson, and cohorts (and enemies). Now, 1907. that is, the children are nearly grown and falling in love...and finding an extraordinary papyrus that of course causes all sorts of trouble...but nothing Amelia can't handle. Certain inelegant prejudices arise when the Emersons' niece falls for their beloved Egyptian pseudo-son, adding a nice - or rather, nasty - bit of reality. "

" I think that this is the best book I've read so far in this lengthy series. "

" David might be one of the most under-utilized characters in the Amelia Peabody adventures. But at least he has this book to really shine. He is such a sweetheart. "

" This is another great addition to the Amelia Peabody series! It was a little different in that there was less Egyptology going on and more sleuthing and personal interactions, but we learn about these fun characters and have said a sweet goodbye to an old friend. Amelia's family is so much fun to hear about and "be a part of" during the journey through the book. Every time I finish one of these books, I crave more! I've put the next two on hold at the library ;) "

" As always, Amelia Peabody's great adventures didn't allow me to put the book down! "

" I stayed up way past my bedtime to finish this book. I love how the children (young adults, really) are getting more of a voice as the series progresses. I laughed, I cried, I really like this series. "

" the book that started my interest in amelia peabody's humorous adventures in archeological mystery. full of subtle wit and sarcasm. "

" Still a great series after reading #10. January is so cold and dull in Utah. This book about the Valley of the Kings was a great escape. "

" Just another implausible romp by Elizabeth Peters. Not remarkable. "

" Took a while to get going and could've been a little more tightly constructed, but the 2nd half of the book was up to the series' usual standards. "

" Amazing as always. "

" I love Elizabeth Peters and Amelia Peabody! This is my second book to read in the Peabody series, and I think I'll start the whole thing from the beginning. I really enjoy Peters's strong, passionate characters. They take the world by storm, work tirelessly day and night, and end with a win. "

" It's got it all - Master Criminals; new discoveries in the Valley of the Kings; murder; mystery; jealousy; tomb robbers; and Peabody caught without her trusty parasol! "

" I love the language and descriptions of Emmerson and his exasperations! "

" I keep reading these because I like Egyptology and mysteries. I just don't like much of the other stuff in the books. I guess I just need to find another author who does mysteries in Egypt. "

" #10 - recently listened to this on tape, made the characters much more alive! "

" Eh, it was OK. Amelia is a little overdone, as a character, and the mystery is only so-so. "

" Yet another fabulous addition to an already fantastic series! "

" Eek. I couldn't decide between a 4 and 5 for this one. I am really looking forward to the next book. "

" I'm enjoying the perspective of the young people, and excited to read the next installment to see how their personal lives develop. "

" I have always really enjoyed the Ameila Peabody books. They are fun, entertaining, and really hard to put down. "

" 1907 archaeological season. Much the same except the kids are in the awkward teenage years when one minute they fight and the next they are the best buddies again. "

" I like this series. They're fun. "
