The Falcon at the Portal: The Amelia Peabody Series, Book 11 (Abridged) Audiobook

" This was one of my favorites in the series. "

" I don't think I've actively rooted for a character to die so much since Dora Copperfield but it made for a delightful read! And he did die so that was a bonus. And seriously, can the Peabody-Emersons adopt me already?! A cooler family there never has been and they just keep getting better with each book. "

" The best thing about Elizabeth Peters that you can get away with reading them out of order and you can still enjoy them. I think I have read about 5 of them so far- it's a case of buying them when I spot them. "

" Another fantastic book! At one point I almost stopped and decided not to listen anymore, it was so heart wrenching! But I'm glad I finished it, although it didn't end with everything cleared up as it usually does. But that just means that I really need to get the next book really soon!! "

" With space between the adventures, Amelia Peabody is great fun. "

" I am not happy right now with what is happening to some of the characters. "

" Ramses is stealing the show from Amelia. "

" #11 in the series, and of course it contains one of my favorite (love) scenes "

" Favorite quote: "Let's just say that I've decided to stop dashing my brains out against the stone wall of her indifference. If she hasn't learned to appreciate my sterling character and spectacular good looks by this time, it's not likely she will." "

" Another great book by Peters. "

" It was soooooo slow. It dragged on and on and on, but the only saving grace was the underlying love story. It's just because I want to know what's going to happen with that love interest that I am even considering reading the next one. "

" I love the Peabody books, and I'm a sucker for the sequence featuring the grown-up Ramses in unrequited love...so there's no way I could give it less than five stars. *sigh* "

" I absolutely love this series. These would make great films. Amelia is a heroine for all times, and the archeological setting is delightful. Mummies, sarcophogus, curses, male/female role posturing....Mystery, humor, romance, these books have it all! "

" This one was so much about the relationships of the next generation that the mystery itself was rather secondary. But it was still a fun read. It definitely left the reader hanging and wanting to read the next one. "

" page-turning, tear jerking leaves many issues unresolved, must get next one soon "

" A bit slow to get into the first 50-75 pages. After that very fast paced, highly enjoyable. These characters are always enjoyable to read about and I've loved getting to know them over the series. Classic, well thought out entertaining mystery with a touch of history. "

" This was my 1st E. Peters mystery. Loved the humor and the style. Need to go back and read them in order. Lots of fun, plus Egypt and archeology, some of my passions. "

" One of my favorite Peabody books. Lots of emotional tension, mystery, culture and good old friends. Makes me want for more! "

" This is the a surprising book in the series. A lot of things happen that do not fit the pattern of the other books. Truly there are major changes here. I loved it. Rames will never be the same. "

" Couldn't put it down. Love the evolution of Ramses's character in her books. "

" SPOILER ALERT (to some extent) If Ramses and Nefret aren't married by the end of the next book I'm going to write a letter of protest... "
