The Egypt Game Audiobook (Unabridged)

" i didn't really like it it just wasn't the best book ever but it had some good parts "

" Not much of a conflict but i really loved the overall idea because i have an imagination like that and i love history, especially about old cultures like Egypt! "

" Rereading The Egypt Game brought back all kinds of memories. I loved looking at the original illustrations just as I remembered them from second grade. It was one of my favorite books then and it still is; I would recommend it to anyone. "

" This book was really cute and very imaginative. The characters are very well defined. It was a very enjoyable story and kids will love it. "

" This book was one of my favorites as a child. "

" Originally published in 1967 and I would never have thought that was the case. Very current and up to date style, aged very well. Like the X-Files have aged well. "

" I thought the plot was creative and fun. I also liked how the various characters came together. But I don't think it's likely that I'd ever want to read this book again, so that is why I gave it 3 stars. I liked it, but not enough to buy it or to read again. "

" I've wanted to read this story since middle school. It's very entertaining, and quite different from what I expected. I thought it was more science fiction/fantasy-ish than realistic fiction. Nevertheless, a good story. I'm not sure current 6th graders would find it very interesting, though. "

" Used to be one of my favorite books when I was in 4th grade!!! "

" This was one of my favorite books from my childhood! "

" Not the best, but it was pretty good. "

" This is a great children's book, published the year I was born. Written I think for 5th grade kids. Wonderfl description of imaginary worlds of children. It remindd me about my own imagination games, and gave me new appreciation for my kids' play. "

" The amazing thing about Newbery books is that they stand the test of time - even if some of the language is outdated, the story still "gets" you. These kids are just like kids you might have known, & the Egypt Game is like the games kids will always play. "

" My elementary school teacher gave me this book and it forever changed my life. Not the best written book, but it holds a special place in my heart. "

" I liked this book in 6th grade. It taught me a lot about life and the games I play... yeah right. "

" Oh this one is another fun one to share with a class. And what is really great about it...it has a sequel. SO the kids who love it and love the characters can get a second look at it! And learning about Egypt on the side - a complete and total bonus!!! "

" Loved this book! Especially because my whole childhood was basically playing make-believe games. Plus I actually learned (and retained more) about ancient Egypt than I did from studying it in school "

" This book helps you learn a lot about Egypt in a fun way that will let you laugh at other's agony and pain. >:D "

" We read this book in school, but I also loved all of Zilpha Keatley-Snyder's work, esp the Great Stanley Kidnapping Case. A few years ago I heard her speak at my public library, and she was just wonderful, very warm and funny. "

" An awful book! It taught me nothing about Egypt! Suckdum! "

" I loved this book as a kid. I was obsessed with ancient egypt and this book played right into that. "

" i thought it was great and it helped me a lot on my egypt project. "

" so, i read this book in seventh or eight grade i really liked it and made me actually feel like if i was in the story. "

" granted, I read this in sixth grade, but I do remember absolutely loving it "

" This is a great children's book, published the year I was born. Written I think for 5th grade kids. Wonderfl description of imaginary worlds of children. It remindd me about my own imagination games, and gave me new appreciation for my kids' play. "

" It was kinda ok but they need to make the game real "

" I really DON'T like this book. At first I thought it would be something fun an exciting, but it turns out that they were just playing a boring FAKE Eygptian game "

" Not much of a conflict but i really loved the overall idea because i have an imagination like that and i love history, especially about old cultures like Egypt! "

" A nice book that got me hooked on Egypt for a while. "

" This one is quite dated. It's cute enough. I kept waiting for more to happen. Snyder did eventually throw in a little excitment--but it was almost too little, too late for me. Maybe that was the norm for books written so many decades ago. "

" I think the book was dull and didn't have that much of a suspense...... "

" it was diffrent then i thought it was going to be "

" I read this book with my 12 year old daughter. She really liked it and I thought it was a good as well. "

" I like the characters in this book and the imagination. :) "

" school read: hated it. i hate these types of books. purely and simply... "
