It had some entertaining elements, but generally was just OK. The concept of immortality was pretty neat (hey live forever without having to eat people - yay!) and I liked the Egyptology element. The disappointing part was the "heroine" who everyone kept saying was "strong" but who was basically just a weepy female. The only character I truly enjoyed and who had any depth was Cleopatra. Ramses was great at first but all the vacillating kind of did him in for me. Anyway, it took about a day to read (snippets here and there) so at least not a tremendous waste of time. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/826491?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
