Tomb of the Golden Bird Audiobook

" I liked how the Emerson's story was intermingled with the actual story of the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb. "

" I've read all of the AP books, I love them and the feisty Amelia.....the books are a bit predictable, but I do love her characters. "

" Elizabeth Peters is a pseudonym for Barbara Mertz, who holds a PhD. in Egyptology from University of Chicago. So her fictional stories of a woman Egyptologist are bound to have some degree of contextual authenticity. Unfortunately, although I made it through this mystery, I found that it never really engaged me. The "mystery" itself and the characters just didn't really seem very interesting. This book is the last in the series (following the internal chronology)--I may give her another chance by selecting one of the earliest in the series. "

" A good regular mystery, and I really like the main character. "

" There is a lot going on in this book. The main event is the finding of Tutankhamen's tomb, obviously not by the Emersons. Of course there is skulduggery in plenty and the usual cast of characters and it is entertaining from beginning to end. "

" I listened to this one on CD. I just love Amelia Peabody mysteries. Most take place in Egypt, and there is always a crime of murder for Amelia to solve. She and her husband Emerson, better known as the Father of Curses, are so much fun. The reader for this book was excellent. "

" I always love these adventure mysteries, just for fun! The series is winding down, but the characters are just as engaging as ever. "

" Very nice capper on the Amelia Peabody series. Good work with the mystery, the characterizations, and the history of the opening of King Tut's tomb. "

" Another in the Amelia Peabody books. Mysteries set in early 1900s egypt. Very good, historical, funny, romantic. The latest in the 18 book series. "

" I like how she is letting the younger characters grow up. "

" So sad to see this series end. I realize there's another one, but this is the last in the chronological series. I feel like I'm seeing the last of good old friends at this point. "

" Amelia is back in another page-turner. I can't get enough of her adventures. "

" Another fine entry in the Amelia Peabody chronicles. "

" I like Elizabeth Peters and have read lots of her books. But after you've read one you've kind of read them all. Some of her books under Barbara Michaels were okay, but a little too much of the feminist undertones going on. "

" I've been waiting all this time to finally come to King Tutankhamun's tomb... I thought this one ended abruptly. "

" A good friend gave me an audio copy of this book for Christmas, which I am slowly working my way through--I only listen while I'm traveling. Good so far. "

" Amelia Peabody is always such fun, that the plot hardly matters. "

" For being the last chronological book in the series, I was disappointed with how things wrapped up. "

" Another good adventure starring Emerson and Peabody. As well as the mystery involved and the enjoyment of spending time with the Emerson family and friends, this book keeps your interest high by the discovery of King Tut's tomb and all the wonderful objects found therein. Read it and enjoy! "

" I felt so bad for Emerson, I wish Tut's tomb could have been his. I do understand this is fiction but I love these characters and want good things for them. "

" Okay, but not much about King Tut. The curse never plays a role. Mostly about Sethos and plots in post WWI Middle East. "

" Not much happened, but I loved the setting in Cario and Luxor -- and such sumptuous living by the Emersons!! "

" #18 for Amelia....and the last? MPM evidently always wanted to take Amelia through the finding of Tutankhamun and now may be working on a Vicky Bliss instead. We shall see. "

" I was ready to give up on the series all together after the last three, until someone told me that it was finally time to find Tutankhamon. This book has saved the series and re-sparked the fun. "

" Audio Book. I like this series of books. I hope to find more of them on CD. "

" It was with some sadness that I read the last of the Emerson's story. I liked the book, but not as much as some of the earlier ones in the series "

" I was not too impressed with the story. It may be too "England" for me. So far as a whole I do not like British prim & proper books. "

" This was my first Amelia Peabody. I enjoyed the Egyptian setting, but did not find the mystery all that compelling. "

" I've just finished re-reading all the Amelia Peabody books (18 or 19). I love the fact that they follow the same characters for over 30 years. "

" So sad to see this series end. I realize there's another one, but this is the last in the chronological series. I feel like I'm seeing the last of good old friends at this point. "

" I gave it 2 stars only because it's Elizabeth Peters' Amelia Peabody series. Her earlier books were much better, IMO. I haven't been really enthralled with this series since Ramses got to be a teenager. "

" Fantastic! Elizabeth Peters skillfully and often amusingly blends Howard Carter's actual uncovering of Tut's tomb with the convoluted adventures of her fictional creations. Prof. Emerson is right--his beloved Peabody is immortal! "

" Another good story about the extended clan of Amelia and Emerson, but the earlier books are better. "

" Listened to this book on CD "

" Another good adventure starring Emerson and Peabody. As well as the mystery involved and the enjoyment of spending time with the Emerson family and friends, this book keeps your interest high by the discovery of King Tut's tomb and all the wonderful objects found therein. Read it and enjoy! "

" Very nice capper on the Amelia Peabody series. Good work with the mystery, the characterizations, and the history of the opening of King Tut's tomb. "
