Chronicle As 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...

Judgment Based On Books The Mummy (The Mummy #1)

Although it will never be as good as the movie was, it was still fairly enjoyable as well!

What I loved about this book is that it expanded more on the movie, filling in many plotholes and giving a little bit more depth to the characters and their relationships. I also love how lush and descriptive the prose was, transporting oneself directly to Egypt be it ancient times or 1920's.

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

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.

This was definitely slower than the movie but for good reason. It provided a lot of information that had been edited out of the final film which was great to see.

Not as good as the movie but a close second

One of those books that must be read before the movie (even if you have already seen the film of the same name, this book must be the next task on your agenda), The Mummy: A Novel is rich with details and captures the essence of the film with which Mummy fans fell in love. It is the perfect reference for those who've found themselves asking questions whilst watching the featured presentation.
