This is somewhere between a 2 and a 3 for me.For the good: It's a well written story, and if you read it as historical FICTION (emphasis on the fiction), you won't mind the liberties Moran took with history. She mixed up a few things, took some liberties, added some spice and spit out this story. ...
I knew from art history classes that there is not a lot left from the reign of Nefertiti and her husband, so I was very curious to see what the author would come up with. Ms. Moran did exceedingly well. She brought the period to life and painted it with color. We know from the archeological record t...
I did end up enjoying this book. I grew to like Mutmodjmet, Nefertiti's suster. This was a light, fun read.****************************Updated 1/2 through: My GR friend Diane was so kind to give me this link to the author's site: http://michellemoran.com/books/nefertiti/qanda.html I needed to know w...
I enjoyed this book, though, since I had the audio book, it cut off some of the afterward, explaining the history which was kind of annoying. I felt, though in many parts of this book, that Nefertiti (and her father) were extremely similar to Anne Boleyn and her uncle. Their scheming ways to get her...
The author says, at the end of the book, that she based the story on as much fact as she could gather. I kept thinking it was a wild recreation of how Nefertiti's life could have been and now I want to research Nefertiti to find out just how much of the novel was true.It was all interesting, though....
Overall I would rate Nefertiti as a 3. The first 250 pages or so would get a 2 from me, they reminded me a great deal of a soap opera in writing and I did not get the essence of Egypt at the time through the writing. The characters could have been from any royal family, in any country and at pretty ...
I would give it more like 3 1/2 stars if i could... Something was missingand i cannot put my finger on it as of yet! Love Egypt so i plan to read thenext book
I read my first Michelle Moran book last year and enjoyed it, she has this way of bringing history to life. Ever since that I wanted to read her previous novels and now I finally got to read the first one.This book is about a famous time in the history of Egypt. But it is not told through the eyes o...
I saw this one in Target along with The Heretic Queen and I couldn’t resist not picking them up because of the great covers. I’m glad I did because Nefertiti was picked as a group read for Historical Fictionistas and Michelle Moran ended up joining the group and getting in the discussion. She really...
