The Book of the Dead Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child "I wanted to read The Book of the Dead because it's about Egyptology, the study of ancient Egypt. And as it happens, I have a PhD in folklore and folk life. The Book of the Dead, New York is really New York and the different characters are recognizably types that you meet in the museum world. The style is pretty elegant, and I do look for that. The use of words, the vocabulary, the phrasing, the sentence structure -- it's not just trash. It's pretty well written. I think the reader that would like The Book of the Dead is somebody who likes a complex mystery, not just a quick read of a mystery, but something that's got some culture, some police work, some love interest, some Europe -- somebody that likes to spend their time over a book would love probably the whole trilogy, because it's pretty complex. I would give The Book of the Dead three stars."
