The Curse of the Mummy

by Joyce Hannam, Bill Bowler (Series Editor), Sue Parminter (Series Editor)

For thousand of years the dead body of the young king Tutankhamun slept under the sands of Egypt. Then, in the autumn of 1922, Howard Carter and his friends find and open his tomb door. These are exciting times, and Carter's young helper Tariq tells the story in his diary.
But soon people begin to die. Who or what is the killer? Is Tutankhamun angry with them for opening his tomb? And who is the beautiful French girl with the face of Tutankhamun's long-dead wife?

2.5⭐
Una historia corta y muy sencilla que, en mi opinión, no merece más que esa puntuación. Ideal para practicar la lectura y comprensión en inglés, ya que tiene un nivel muy básico. La historia está bien narrada, pero me pareció un poco forzada y no conecté con ningún personaje. Como dije, la aprovecharía únicamente como práctica de idioma.

Actualización por relectura:
- Sigo pensando lo mismo: es un libro solo para practicar inglés. La trama, los personajes y el conflicto dejan un poco que desear.

Do I have words to describe what I feel about these disaster-spewing 56 pages?

I have.

Blasphemy.
(...I'm thinking of adding Horrible here, but that word doesn't even begin to describe what I felt about it.) Fornication with the wolves.
Life-destroying.
Being robbed.

Yeah, that's about it.

(And even the illustrations weren't anything special.)


: Children, what is the lesson of the day?

:NEVER TRUST BRITISH COUNCIL AGAIN!

1. The only good thing was Howard Carter.

2. Tariq/Anne is forced and I'll never, EVER ship them.

Misterio. Muerte. Duda. Una mezcla que logró convencerme

[Dunya Nasser · Rating 5 out of 5]

i think that its good book for who interest about the mummies, ancient Egypt,and Tutankhamen tomb's secrets, also i think that the obvious theme is "Don't believe in the superstitions"
