The Red Pyramid

Juli's Book Rating * * * * * (5 stars)


My favorite gift is always a book. More than flowers, chocolates, or jewelry I like books. And not just reading the story, I like to own the book, the actual book, no digital readers for me.

I loved the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan. I thought it was well written and intriguing. I even liked the movie that came out as far as movies go, but I wasn't expecting it to be like the books at all, which it wasn't. But for a movie it was ok.

But that series is finished, so what next? I'm only on page 139, but so far his next book series is quite interesting. The Kane Chronicles book One, The Red Pyramid is about the Egyptian Gods this time. This is from the inside cover

"Since their mother’s death, Carter and Sadie have become near strangers. While Sadie has lived with her grandparents in London, her brother has traveled the world with their father, the brilliant Egyptologist, Dr. Julius Kane.

One night, Dr. Kane brings the siblings together for a "research experiment" at the British Museum, where he hopes to set things right for his family. Instead, he unleashes the Egyptian god Set, who banishes him to oblivion and forces the children to flee for their lives.

Soon, Sadie and Carter discover that the gods of Egypt are waking, and the worst of them--Set--has his sights on the Kanes. To stop him, the siblings embark on a dangerous journey across the globe--a quest that brings them ever closer to the truth about their family, and their links to a secret order that has existed since the time of the pharaohs."


So thank you John for another wonderful gift to read again and again
