The Egyptians

Rating:
Summary: Asimov proves his skill in yet another discipline
Review: Four years did I search for this book. Finally, a friend of mine surprised me with it one day after succesfully bidding for it on ebay. I was ecstatic. I have always wanted this book because I love Egyptian history and I love Asimov's writing. He did not disappoint. I remember reading at one point that Asimov wrote these history books with a younger audience in mind, "writing down" so to speak. Although admittedely the book was not full of his usual quarter-and-dime vocabulary words, I did not feel as though I was reading a child's book at all. His style remains supurb throughout. I highly recommend this book to any Asimov fan or anyone interested in an overview of Egyptian history.
