Query: So much potential wasted

With the cover promising the work of an expert Egyptologist I had hoped that the writing in this book would bring alive the feel of Ancient Egyptian times. In this it fails there is very little description to help the reader paint mental pictures in the way Colleen McCullogh did so successfully in her histories of Rome. Instead we get a soap opera that over the following novels descends into a tale of unrealistic magic and mysticsm. Don't buy this book save your money.
