Something about a fortune teller, who tells him that a dream he had about the pyramids in Egypt will lea...

I bought this book while in Amsterdam for a couple of reasons: The title first caught my attention, and the friend I was with said he'd read it and thought it was... ok. But mostly because of the title. Since buying it I've read a lot of reviews that say it's... ok. Which is why it sat on my T...
