This book was slightly silly, but presented stories about historical felines that were interesting. Cats have gotten the shaft all throughout history, excluding Ancient Egypt, of course.

I chose this book because of its links to Egypt, my brother is an Egyptologist so it tweaked my interest.
I quite enjoyed the back and forth of the story from Egypt to England and vice versa. And I enjoyed the writing style, I found it quite Dan Brownesq.
All in all a good book, and a good story,which is quite exciting at times.
My only criticism would be that he seems to go off track sometimes .

would definitely recommend this book. A novel about the rise of Amunhotep ( Akhnaton) - pharaoh who originated the worship of a single God in Egypt, and his wife Nefertiti. The story is definitely absorbing.
  
Second entry in Elizabeth Peter's Amelia Peabody series, which again sees the Victorian archaeologist - now married, and with a young kid - again back in Egypt, and again faced with a (seemingly) supernatural foe.

This was my first foray into Assassins Creed and I wasn't disappointed. As a huge fan of ancient Egypt when I heard about the tour mode I thought it was time to give it a try. The map is huge and I love how well the graphics bring ancient Egypt to life. The tours are interesting and I have learnt a few things I didn't know while working through them. I haven't completed it yet but have enjoyed all gameplay so far.
