Probably the most readable book on Tutankhamun! Hoving never lets one's interest flag. Very enjoyable (and informative, the perfect combination).

This boek is about the conflict between Howard Carter and the authorities in Egypt, not about Tutankhamun. That makes it not so interesting. Unfortunately it also gives a black and white picture of Howard Carter. I do not recommend this book to people who like to know more about Tutankhamun. Only
