    "Worth the 2nd listen"

    I originally listened to this book several years ago and enjoyed it then. Driving cross country I found this again and enjoyed it immensely the 2nd time - new details popped out. Some might think the British wordiness is tedious but Barbara Rosenblat is very skillful and comforting.

    "I loved this!"

    I have loved this story for years and was unsure whether hearing it read would pale in comparison to actually reading it. It turns out that I love both! Barbara Rosenblat does a fantastic Amelia Peabody!

    Story
    "A pleasant trip down the Nile"

    This was fun to listen to. The narrator nailed it with the accents and attitudes. The fallen woman, blue stocking spinster and English lordling all felt right. A feeling of what it must have felt like when wealthy Victorians discovered and some what trashed Egypt.

    "Well, it was ok."

    Good for something to listen to I guess. Wouldn't recommend it to my friends unless they just want to hear a British voice read.

    Story
    "So much fun!"

    I started the Amelia Peabody series in print when I was in college. The narrator is exactly the voice I imagined and did a superb job. While these stories are not deep or requiring of a great deal of thinking, they are a perfect form of "junk food" for my brain in between more serious titles.

    "Great fun!"

    Ancient Egypt, eccentric Brits, mummies and curses. A great get-away book. Delightfully free of embarrassing language.

    Story
    "Expected something better"

    I purchased this based on the high recommendations of Audible. I even listed to the sample thinking this will be good. It wasn't.
    I didn't care for the narrator. The story was predictable and drawn out. Again, I'm glad I didn't pay full price. Don't waste your time on this book.
