Neat little mystery taking place in Egypt during the reign of the pharoahs.

Really liked this one. A review would be too spoilery. Suffice to say, it's barely a YA novel. More of an Asimov novella? Great quick read.

This was pretty good. The action in it kind of felt serialized though, like Todd, the protagonist got into trouble three pages from the end of every chapter. Tune in next chapter to see Todd elude baddies once more, same Bat time, same Bat channel.


Also, jhc, if you as a fictional character were given a plot laden journal explaining a bunch of mysterious crap, I don't care, you'd read it. Post haste. Not wait for 400 pages and then plop down and read only the first entry. That was infuriating.


All that being said, I really did like this book. I loved the dog so much. Will definitely read the sequel to this one.

A very cool premise ruined by terrible, horrible, no good, very bad protagonists. And lame plots. Or lack thereof.

Getting better and better. Liked the origin issues a lot.
