3.0 out of 5 stars Poor layout, good idea and content
Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2019
This is an exasperating book. I wanted to read it, and the idea of having the words from ancient people was fascinating. But they tried to cram each piece into two facing pages, with big pictures and tiny text to explain it. Then the words of the ancients were larger type but overlaid on a busy background that made it hard to read too.

So, I am giving it 3 stars for concept and gathering all these photos and words, but it is too hard to actually read. Very disappointing.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Ancients in Their Own Words
Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2011
I grabbed this book on a whim and I don't regret doing so. I am using it constantly and it has quickly become one of my favorite.

The book in general is set up very nicely. The table of contents isn't too lengthy and is exceedingly simple. Each chapter is set up so meticulously, that if you're looking for a particular topic you're bound to find it easily. If you can't find it just by skimming through the chapter, there is a very detailed index in the back of the book. By detailed, I mean this book has every word you could think of relating to the topic at hand.

As for the content of the book, I have no faults to call on it. Every chapter was very through and easy to read. The pictures that went along with the text was very helpful and related to the text perfectly. The book flowed easily from one chapter to the next.

The book is extensive and enjoyable. Highly recommended!

This book is pretty cool, I got it for my Mom, she's all into Egyptian things, and this book contains all sorts of information about them.
