The Hippopotamus Pool Audiobook

" I'm thoroughly enjoying working my way through the entire series. The narrator reads smoothly, though my spouse did comment, "she just doesn't sound like Amelia." That doesn't bother me. What does is that she does a strange rendition of foreign voices--their accented English sounds all wrong. "

" Excellent!!! Who will be kidnapped next? Ramses and Nefret find a new friend--David. The master criminal is noticeably abscent but two new groups of villians have emerged. "

" Not quite as good as the first Amelia Peabody story, but I always enjoy good romance between a married couple, especially in a mystery. "

" Another fun Elizabeth Peters book. "

" Vacation 2007 at the beach. "

" As always, Peabody and Emerson entertain... along with Ramese and a few other characters! :) If you like British DRY humor, this series is good entertainment. Also, I have really enjoyed listening to these books on tape, Barbara Rosenblat is a wonderful reader. "

" Loved this one. Love that the family is growing in its own way. "

" Another Great Amelia Peabody Mystery!! "

" This kind've fun since I listened to it. Fantastic reader brought the characters to life. "

" These books just keep getting better and better!! "

" 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! "

" Always entertaining, well written. "

" Definitely in the same line as the others. If there's a theme, it is considering the line between love and fighting. "

" Fun as always, but not my favorite. "

" Another great Amelia Peabody mystery. I liked this one because more of the Emerson family is involved in the case -- they are all great characters, so it was good to see more of them. "

" Egyptology in the Queen's English. "

" This book was typical Amelia Peabody. I've read enough of the series that the formula is beginning to get old for me. Nonetheless, this book was as well-written, delightful, and entertaining as one would expect from Elizabeth Peters. "

" #8 in the series "

" Now that Ramses and Nefret are growing up, these books are even more enjoyable than before. Another fabulous book in the Amelia Peabody series. "

" Although I have read this at least twice before, it still had the same charm and satisfaction for me. I LOVE this author. "

" Favorite line. "Are you feeling well, Peabody? You failed to interrupt me." "

" Another one of the many in this series Amelia Peabody. Mystery combined with historical fiction. I really enjoyed it. I am not reading them in order, but it does not matter much it seems. "

" Not as absorbing or funny as the previous books. "

" Emerson loses his memory and Amelia must win him back! LOVED IT! OOh, and that Sethos, he is a sneaky one! Although I just don't think he's dead. He's too tricky to just die like that. "

" This series isn't always internally consistent (Ramses is now a teenager? Didn't Kevin get married in an earlier book?) but it is always entertaining! "

" Pretty good. My favorite of this series is the first one though. The Crocodile on the Sandbank "

" Just alright, didn't have the same flair that I love to see in Mrs. Peabody Emerson. But I am excited about the rising of the next generation and excited to see what becomes of Ramses and Nefret! "

" Another romp with Peabody and Emerson. As is usual with this series, there is a solid, simple plot that is filled out with a mix of archaeology, history, mystery, and humor. "

" One of my all time favorites, I actually first listened to it on Book on Tape in like 3rd grade (and still listen to the same set of tapes) and it hooked me on Archeology, but especially Egyptology. I am now an Anthropology major, preparing to spend the rest of my life poor. "

" Amelia is a great character! I like the books on CD better than reading them. The reader is that good! "

" One of those books on CD I love to listen to as I travel across the desert! Fun! "

" Left me a bit disappointed. I did like the voice the author used. She speaks in first person through Amelia Peabody, a progressive female adventurer, slueth, & Egyptologist. Her husband got on my nerves and didn't seem to have much depth as a character. "

" Another fun read! Glad to see the kids are getting older and more involved with the mysteries. "

" THis is the beginning of the relationship between Ramses and Nefret. Apparently in 2003 I decided I was going to read the whole series. It's very good entertainment. "

" Another delightful romp through the archaeology of Egypt with amateur sleuth Amelia Peabody. "

" Another great Amelia Peabody mystery. I liked this one because more of the Emerson family is involved in the case -- they are all great characters, so it was good to see more of them. "
