The Last Camel Died at Noon Audiobook

" I am having a blast re-reading the Amelia Peabody mystery series. This is one of my favorites! "

" Fun to read but on the cheesy side. "

" The absolute best book I have read in a very long time! "

" Every so often I go off on an adventure with Amelia Peabody and her family, and I'm always glad. I sought this one out, and it was fun! "

" A neat twist on a classic theme from adventure lit. "

" This one's a bit odd, considering it's part of a long mystery series. It doesn't follow the formula of the others; I wouldn't even call it a mystery. Though the plot is a bit darker, it still has the fun, light-hearted tone and over-the-top characterization of the others. "

" In this one, they find/are brought to a hidden land - only to then need to figure out how to leave. "

" I just love the Amelia Peabody series! It doesn't look like this installment is going to disappoint, either. "

" This one was a nice change in the story lines, dealing not with archeology exactly, but a lost society. Quite interesting and enjoyable. "

" I continue to think that this series may well have inspired the characters from The Mummy & The Mummy Returns movies. "

" Amelia Peabody Emerson is one of my favorite characters. She does not disappoint in the book. Her acerbic wit makes me laugh on a regular basis. "

" Another fun, if a bit melodramatic, episode in the adventures of Amelia Peabody Emerson. "

" Another great book in the series, I'm not sure she made the fictional world as strong as it is in other books but it was still excellent! "

" The Emersons are in Sudan this season where they have barely made it to a secret city where the Egyptian culture is still alive!! When Amelia was invited to visit the Queen I knew I had read this book before. One of my favorites. "

" Love it! A pivotal turning point in the series, essential fir thongs to yet come. "

" This was a little different than the other books in the series. I liked it! "

" This book, for me, is were the series took a downward turn. I did not like the introduction of Nefret, and the plot was a departure from the usual archaeology driven story lines of the previous books in the series. "

" The worst of the books I have read so far in this series. "

" Somehow reading the Peabody series I must have missed this one! Loved that it tells the story of how they met and rescued Nefret. Just so fun if you're a fan. :) "

" I didn't enjoy this as much as some of the others in the series. However, I love the Amelia Peabody character. I'm sure, one by one, I'll download them and listen to them. Great books to listen to in the middle of the night. "

" Favorite quote: "Talking only dries the throat, Mama," said my son. "

" Just fun - a definite guilty pleasure... great for summer reads. Continuing story of Peabody, Emerson and their son Ramses... another archaeological dig, more intrigue and mystery and of course... fun and silliness! "

" One of the best of the series, and the introduction of Nefret, another of the best characters in all of my readings! By this time in the series, Ramses has lost all his annoying qualities, and becomes a very funny and compelling character. Very, very well done! "

" "Camel" is somewhat different than the other Amelia books, to date. There is far more swashbuckling going on! Plus, this one introduces a soon-to-be-important new character. Lots of fun! "

" This was an unexpected diversion in Egypt. Felt a bit Allan Quartermain-ish. I wonder what happens to the girl... "

" An interesting story. I have decided that these are more "adventure" than mystery. OK as long as one knows what he/she is getting into. "

" Great book! I have read several of Elizabeth Peter's novels. A lot of fun! "

" The series about Amelia Peabody is delightful. A friend gave me this one to start me off and since then I have read all of them! "

" One of my favorites from the series. "

" This story was bogged down with all sorts of names and dates and troop movements that just were painful to read. I don't mind some history, but this was not done well or as far as I could tell really relevant. Not her best. "

" It is fun to go back through this series and remember the origins of so many of the beloved characters, in this case Nefret, and to realize that Ramses was dumbstruck by her from the first! "

" Oh--How I love Amelia's descriptions of her husband---and her independence in a time when that simply didn't exist for women. The characterization is just so much fun in these Amelea Peabody mysteries that it almost outshines the plots which are equally as much fun. "

" While I loved the premise (late 19th century feminist archaeologist and her dashing husband go on digs and solve crimes), I found the dialogue cumbersome and I didn't care much for the characters, particularly the irritating precocious son, Ramses. I won't be reading any more of this series. "

" Every series must have some sort of Shangri La that is discovered and abandoned. Amelia and her family find a lost Egyptian civilization in conflict. After helping an ally to become king, they must not only flee but protect the secret of the hidden city. "

" Yet another delightful adventure of Amelia Peabody. I really liked the reference to Pirate of Penzance. It made me laugh out loud. "

" A new character added! Perhaps a love interest for Ramses in the future. "

" This one might be my favorite. "

" I've read quite a few of these, the first one in the series and the most recent one. This is about 6 books in, it was very entertaining. Liked meeting characters in childhood that I'd only encountered as fully grown adults. Amelia and Emerson were delights, very funny. "

" Lots of fun. I forget how much I enjoy this series, and therefore haven't read most of the books yet. I'm going to have to remedy that right away. "
