The Red Pyramid

[Little Bee]

you are getting to the good parts! !!

[Kathy]

I hope so!

I do have to say that whole lion-eats-salsa-and-turns-into-a-cow bit, was kinda odd....

[Little Bee]

hahahaha yeah. its funny that that particular monster was made to be stupid...but i guess, if you can trick a monster into thinking something is blood, why not?

[Kathy]

I kinda felt like it didn't give it enough credit. The greatest monster in Egyptian history and it gets tricked by salsa? and turned into a cow?? LOL

[Little Bee]

well, the monster's "other side" was a cow :) so i guess when it was full, it was the more gentler side of the monster like a jekyll and hyde

[Kathy]

Good call, good call. I just put a hold on the second one at my library and someone has it :( and I'm not the first hold after they bring it back....that is really depressing!

[Little Bee]

I won't start until you get it:) I can always renew mine!

[Kathy]

That...was the saddest and happiest ending I have ever read...

[Little Bee]

was a great book wasn't it?!?!?! i liked it...I think they made a good choice! :) cant wait for book 2!

[Kathy]

I was so sad about it all at first. Their dad, Zia, the house turning on them even after everything, the house, Amos.....but then BAST CAME BACK! I still don't know how I feel about their dad and mom being there but not there...its still not what I wanted for them but maybe it will be better in the next one.

[Little Bee]

maybe. but someone has to be in those spots. so why not the most powerful royal line? :)

[Kathy]

I just feel bad, all of his characters either have dead parents or dead friends or really just dead SOMETHING.

[Little Bee]

but look how strong his characters are though. after the dad died, look at how Sadie and Carter changed. I think that is why he does it. is like he is reaching out to kids who don't have parents and saying they can do great things

[Kathy]

Oh his characters are great and your right they do have all these great qualities about them because of it. I know he started these books for his son but he can really connect with the younger adult audience better than anyone I've read in a long time.

[Kathy]

I'm next on the hold list!! Hopefully I'll have the second one soon!

[Little Bee]

Let me know! I am itching to read it LOL

[Little Bee]

ready for book two?!

[Kathy]

YES! I have been oober busy today but I did start.....I'll make the thread!
