The Murder of King Tut: The Plot to Kill the Child King - A Nonfiction Thriller
by James Patterson, Martin Dugard
An interesting book, but I got annoyed with the short chapters. It was like Patterson was contractually obligated to keep his chapters four pages or less, because he would end a short chapter and then start the next in the same place. Why bother having two chapters then?
I found the parts on Carter to be the most interesting. I knew the general overview of Carter's story, but not the details. Patterson was able to provide more details in Carter's story than in Tut's, probably because it's better documented. Talking about life in 1300 BCE was much more speculative. Patterson just have us little bits leading up to Tut's death. I found that part of the story less satisfying. Throughout the book, you really had to pay attention to the dates that headed each chapter since he bounced back and forth so often.
