Excellent February 24, 2007

One of the many novels I've read by Joyce A. Tyldesley over the last 15 months.
I class myself to be very lucky as I've been to the "Land of the Pharaohs" back in the 1990's and seen their great temples and places of worship. If you have ever been able to go there you'll know what I mean about them being an advanced civilisation with everything they built and what tool they had to use to do it with. I'm studying Egyptology with Exeter University and I'm in my second year.
Ramesses II was the most powerful pharaoh ever to rule Egypt, he ruled the longest, and had the most children. He was a great political, both his upbringing and his leadership was pretty special.
It's a great book for people who just want to learn about great Egyptian Pharaoh, as well as it being a great for anyone who is interested in studying this subject.
Well done Joyce, I love your novels keep up the fantastic work. :-)
Another great book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! October 24, 2001

Joyce Tyldesley yet again provides us with another astonishing account of one of Egypt's greatest pharaohs.
Having read many books by the author and in my search to read a book about the greatest pharaoh of Egypt having been to many of his temples including Abu-Simbul, Luxor temple and the Ramesseum. The author gives a detailed description and brings to life the battles at Qadesh, the temple building of the great pharaoh and his family connections.
The book is another excellent informative by a great author and has lead me to reaf "The Lost Tomb" by Ken Weeks a must read if you are interested in Ramesses and his tomb for his sons Kv5 .
I have nothing but praise for both the author and her book October 11, 2001

This book has got the lot! It's fascinating, detailed, doesn't go off at a tangent, and only occasionally does Tyldesley theorize ..... a big thumbs up!
Excellent as usual October 19, 2000

The author speaks for herself: "Almost every year our bookshops are blessed with a new bestseller claiming on the most flimsy of evidence to reveal at least one of the mysteries of the ancient world. Those who criticize, no matter how well-armed with facts, are generally dismissed as being over-cautious, fuddy-duddy or lacking in imagination. Needless to say, this book will take a traditional approach to the presentation of facts. The history of Ramesses II is a fascinating story in its own right and needs no artificial enhancement to make it acceptable to the modern reader." Tyldesley delivers again. Excellent as usual.
