I'll be extremely interested to hear peoples' opinions of this book. I love it because:

1. Egypt is probably my favorite place in the world.
2. I've seen everything described in the book, and it's fascinating to compare the way the Egyptian temples are now to the way they were (almost hidden in the sand) at the time of Amelia Edwards' journey in 1873.
3. I like Victorian travelogues!

Perhaps some people will find this a very boring book; it'll be interested to hear.
