If you are a history buff and have special interest in Ancient Egypt then this could be a perfect quick read. It deals with the discovery of one of the most famous mummy till date – that of King Tutankhamun and the further analysis of his reign and the possible reason for his death.Though it gives a compact information about King Tut’s life, it still gives us a glimpse of Egyptian society. This is what keeps the interest alive rather than if it were just a history of the King’s life. It gives a quick look into the importance of religion, status of women, social relationships and the prevailing politics of the age. It also is sort of a brief commentary on wise politics, a politics of appeasing the subjects and about good governance.It didn’t take me long to finish reading it and could be a perfect companion for a short journey.
