Representaion Concering Books The Mummy (The Mummy #1)
Based on the Universal Studios major motion picture starring Brendan Fraser!Rick O'Connell, dashing American and legionnaire, is in Egypt looking for a good time. His discovery of the Lost City of the Dead is a fluke--but to British librarian Evelyn Carnarvon it's the archaeological find of the century. The city contains all the treasures of Egypt and possibly the secrets of life and death. Leading Evelyn's expedition deep into the Sahara isn't exactly easy money, though, as Rick must dodge death traps, escape the jaws of man-eating beetles, and even duel a hook-handed mercenary. And just when he's caught his breath, a long ago evil returns from the grave--with a taste for human flesh...

While it's a good book and it captures all the tense scenes from the film really well, the dialogue isn't the best and in some cases is absolutely ridiculous.I really like movie so I must read this book and it is absolutely amazing!
I remembered that the first time I saw the movie at my friend's home. I was so excited and loved it so much. I've watched it several times since then.
I love movie novelizations. I loved this movie. I usually enjoy Max Allan Collins....so it pains me to say I just didn't enjoy this book. I want 'extras or slight differences' in my novelizations from their movie counterparts. Most are based on the screenplay, not the finished product we see on screen; so I'm not sure I can blame Mr. Collins for how this came across.Virtually gone was all the humor from all the characters. I didn't like how Rick kept referring to Evelyn as 'baby'. It sounded too
I wasn't sure what to expect when I first picked up this book, but I instantly got hooked by the way it created a setting to where I was immediately transported. I love reading books that have adventure brimming at every turn, where you travel from the historic museum in Egypt to the narrow streets of Cairo, and even the rolling hills of sand where Hamunaptra mysteriously lay. Similiar to the way that I was intrigued by the setting, I was also entranced by the characters who each had there own
i thought it would be interesting as the movies, but after a 2 sections already bored. maybe should've read the book first before watch the movie because there is no difference at all. still good though,
