This book is a vivid book, filled with excitement and adventure, it keeps you reading the book until you turn to the last page of Mummy. It starts off with a normal person or group and each act follow plausibly from those preceding. Yet somehow the characters find themselves in some exciting, dramatic dilemma. There are often a few curves along the way as well. In this novel, getting out of trouble is not as simple as returning a stolen mummy, though not for the reasons you might expect. The author explores the characters' thoughts and feelings while still keeping the plot moving at a satisfying pace. I find myself identifying with the main character so thoroughly while reading, that it takes a few moments for me to be able to return to my own reality when I quit. Days later, I find myself still thinking about the issues raised.
