Naomi W.
I personally LOVE this book. Any political opinion the author has is a very small percentage of the book, which she only refers to in order to illustrate a point or draw comparisons between our modern world and the ancient world she is able to describe so marvellously. Very rarely will she reference politicians or modern-day issues, and even when she did I didn't mind and appreciated her professional perspective. The quality of Ancient Egyptain knowledge in this book, and the way it is written (and read to you) is compelling and insightful. I highly recommend it!
