I will hopefully never judge a book by it's cover again . It looked like an adventure story involving time spent on the Nile , but it was in fact extremely boring , I don't know if even one crocodile 🐊 was encountered as I bailed out of the miserable affair at about the one -third point . Luckily I got the book at a lower-price bookstore and because they were going out of business , I got half off that!! haha
