Suspense in Ancient Egypt -- Fun and Eudcational

What did you love best about The Golden Goblet?

My 10 year old reluctant reader son loved this book. I thought the narrator was great and I was happy to listen along. My son was disappointed it wasn't part of a series. The added plus was that it was educational and got him excited about Ancient Egypt.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Golden Goblet?

There are many exciting moments -- enough that it was too absorbing to listen to at bedtime.

What does Charles Carroll bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Excellent narrator for both children and adults to listen to. There are unfamiliar names and places in the book, due to its setting in Ancient Egypt, and I could imagine my son being frustrated with that if he had to read it without benefit of the audio. As it was, the names were handled so naturally it wasn't a barrier.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It was a very uplifting book by the end.

A well read, very entertaining story that helped pass the time on the road in a most delightful way!

one of my favorite books

it was a very good dook and it gave me something to look forward to after school for a.long time.

Good but not at the same time

It is not for kids under 11, there is a lot of fear, beatings and violence. Not too much action at the same time. It drags on a lot, but does have a storyline I wouldn’t recommend, but if you were into Egypt and Child mysteries, then try it. Overall, not the best book.

So good !!!!

It was s o o o o o o o o o o o good so good so good !!!!!😜😜😜😜 l

Quite good

Kinda rushed ending. Satisfying. Really nice dialog and world building for a kids book. Could have been written with a slightly more contemporary style to reach a slightly younger audience.

lame!

Boring at firs and slow paced this book is the kind your forced to read by your teacher😴😑 but then it gets better I have to admit

Great story and lesson

Great story. The ending is beautiful. The narrator was very good - expressive, easy to understand, consistent with character voices.
