I was surprised to see so many bad reviews about this book, people comparing it to a text book, but I loved it. The book is so rich with detail about Egyptology, but it's not difficult to read. I love when I read a book for pleasure and learn about things. I didn't know there were different types of tears! Please give this book a chance, the science and mummies are a vital part of the story, they define the characters and their relationships.
