Summary: A fantastic depiction of ancient Egypt
Review: I found myself doling out the number of pages I read because I didn't want the book to end. I was mesmerized. I have read the Seventh Scroll and hope there will be a third book on the same subject matter.

Summary: Best book ever. Couldn't put it down
Review: I was only 11 when I read this 654 page book. I understood every word and paragraph, not like other adult books that aren't focused and confusing. I savored it till the very last word. I now read Wilbur Smith books all of the time and I'm not dissapointed with any. Even now as a 13 year old I still remember every word of it.

Summary: Couldn't find a better book !!!!
Review: This book should be a movie , I cried , laughed , and shared the excitment like I was part of it , imagine what it would be like on screen !!! reading The River God was an amazing experince, I couldn't stop reading once I started , I felt that I was in 'This very Egypt' . I fell in love with Taita, Tanus, and Lostris to the point that I painted a picture of all three on the Breath of Horus with a good view of the Pyramids in the background . " Good Job Wilbur Smith "

Summary: I hated the book
Review: I tried to read this book some time ago and I just noticed this page. I could not finish the book as it was entirely too prurient in its discussion of some things and sadly lacking in others, including character development. I was very disappointed, having paid full price for the hard backed version.

Summary: This book encompasses everything any literary fan could want
Review: As a great lover of all that is Egyptian, this book was spellbinding. I gives a fictional account of the historical context of egyptian history. I could not put this book down, and being a student this led to many a tiresom morning! I reccomend this book highly to all in the mood for a great adventure!

Summary: Atrocious book. Immediately forgettable.
Review: I have seldom read such a horrible book. I clearly need to buy some better light reading. This novel purports to be set in Ancient Egypt and is full of pungeant detail, presented clumsily and inaccurately. I honestly don't know why I continued beyond the gratuitous and ugly violence of the first 50 or so pages. If you like historical fiction based in Ancient Egypt - look elsewhere. Try Gedge or almost anyone else. Gedge is a master; Smith appears to be a pedestrian.

Summary: If you liked the book, GET THE TAPE
Review: I really can't add much to the praise already given by the reviewers for this book. But I can add that the audio tape is just awesome. The reader (Dick Hill) is so fabulous that I hated to get out of the car. Taita was so alive through him, I feel I know him. If you liked Kratus and his blaspheming oaths as much as I did, wait until you hear Hill's reading of them. I laughed out loud at every one. I was so sorry to see it end, I could have cried. (But I have his reading of the new Harry Bosch novel ready to slip in for another set of great driving hours).DICK HILL - may he live forever!!!!! (And may he read forever)

Summary: Long and rambling, but enjoyable all the way
Review: I almost made the mistake of quitting this book early. The beginning had a little too much sexual mutilation and savagery to suit me. I only kept on because I was listening to tapes. This book has much more than that. Now, I'm on the last tape, and am so sad the story is coming to an end. This is a fabulous, intricate tale, with gory, tender and funny parts in equal measure. Don't read many more of the reviews, however. They contain spoilers, and I was extremely dismayed to find out things I don't know about yet. I wish people wouldn't do this when writing reviews.

Summary: Fascinating
Review: This book draws the reader in immediately. Not only the characters, but the TIME comes alive. It's an effort to return to our time when you have to stop reading and put the book aside. Once the book was over, I wanted it to be twice as long. While the excellence of the writing also conveyed the violence, it was not overdone, and was necessary to convey the whole flavor of the times. I searched diligently and asked everyone I knew about "Hyksos".
