The Egyptologist by Arthur Phillips

[Mz Pip]

Anyone here read this? I picked it up in a free book pile and wondered if it really were "A wonder, a work of imaginative prowess..." I'd never heard of it before.

1. Love the book

Got it for Christmas the year it came out, and found it to be a real pageturner. I've read it twice since. Lent it to my husband, both sons, and son's girlfriend. Thought it was one of the best fiction books I've ever read.

2. Love the book

Really great read.

3. I had it in my hand at the library and put it back because I already had a couple

But after seeing the responses so far I might have to get it.

4. I finished it

Which took a lot of fortitude. I don't know why, as I'm not dumb and I've gotten through The Brothers Karamazov, Anna Karenina, East of Eden, Special Topic in Calamity Fiction and many other interestingly "high-brow" books this last year. But, I didn't know what the hell was going on during The Egyptologist throughout.
