## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Atrocious, nonsensical, editing and a strange story
  

*by N***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 11, 2022*

Just a very few examples: tide instead of title, caxi instead of taxi, "though" with an umlaut, "Pentel" instead of pen, and many, many, many, many more. Apparently no one felt like proofreading it but it was published anyway.  As the author was a winner of the Booker Prize, I feel she would be HORRIFIED by this!The book itself is densely written in such a way that did not engage me, though it might be intriguing to others. The main protagonist is a confused fellow, who learns a lot  about nothing, and the mystery to me is why he, or anyone else, even bothers. Sorry.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A Great Read
  

*by R***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 4, 2022*

A comic mystery told with traditional dry British wit and an almost Monty Python sense of the absurd. An exhibition as significant as the first Tut exhibit in the 70s is bedeviled with mishaps and problems including forgery, murder, Russians, and office intrigue (why do they fight so bitterly? Because the stakes are so small). English eccentricity is so perfect and delightful and told so well that you more see the book than read it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Terrific Comedic Novel
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 12, 2022*

Penelope Fitzgerald is one of the most talented and erudite writers I have ever had the pleasure of reading. This version, however, is marred by an inexcusable number of typos, which are an insult to both the reader as well as the author. Excellent book if you can get past this, though.
