Summary: I did not enjoy this book.
Review: I did not enjoy this book, but many people disagree with me. I like "deep" books, and this was definitely shallow. It is perfect for a shallow read, but I don't like books when you don't have a special connection with the charecters. It is not the kind of book that intreges me, but it may integue you. I'd give it a try. Even if you don't like the story, it has a flavor of Ancient Egypt, which you may find interesting.

Summary: Good and Humourous
Review: "The Egpyt Game" is the incredibly amusing book about what is meant to be just a game of ancient Egypt, and what a mess the whole thing turns out to be. I really laughed hard when it talked about Marshall, and I shall add a very mystical air by not telling you, oh fortunate reader about what he is like. The characters all become spun in an intricate plot, surrounding murder, and extreme measures. But, it has a surprising outcome, but it is satisfying. But I won't give it away! No, no! You must read the book to catch all the laughs and excitment

Summary: A fun read
Review: The Egypt Game is one of my favorite children's books with an Egyptian theme. My absolute favorite would have to be The Cat in the Mirror by Mary Stolz which I highly recommend. It seems that so much of the best Egyptian themed fiction (especially fantasy) is written for children. Another recommendation that comes to mind is Time Cat by Lloyd Alexander

Summary: Fun to re-read
Review: I loved this book as a child, and when I re-read it last week I enjoyed it just as much as I did then. I am really sorry to see that many of the kids who reviewed the book here did not like it. Perhaps it is a bit dated; maybe kids don't play complex pretending games as often anymore and thus can't relate to this plot. But if you know a young person who does enjoy imaginary games, this book would be a great choice for them.

I didn't find the book boring at all. In fact, I read it really quickly, excited to know what would happen. Will April be able to adjust to her new life? Will the murderer be caught? Will the kids get to keep playing the Egypt Game, and how will it grow and change when new participants join in? And, most suspenseful of all, is there really anything supernatural going on?

In addition to enjoying the plot, I liked that the main characters were from a variety of cultural and racial backgrounds; I don't see that too much in currently popular kids' books. They also have very different personalities, and they all react in their own ways to the book's events. Something else I liked was the fact that the characters enjoy reading for pleasure; they share books with each other and so on.

The book really doesn't give a lot of concrete info about ancient Egypt, but I think it could definitely kindle some interest in the topic -- I think many kids would be amazed at and curious about the elaborate ceremony for Pete-ho-tep, for instance. But really, the story is more about friendship and growing up.

Summary: Iman's Review's
Review: This book isn't a book I would perfer to read again, because at the begining it is really boring and finally at the end of the book it gets good. It's about a girl named April who moves to California and meets Melanie and Marshall. They go to an old lot and make a place they call Egypt. They meet two mew members, Ken and Toby, and let them join. They get to keep the yard afther a accident and they continue the game of Egypt would have changed the begining so it would be more excited.

Summary: probably the best reveiw ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: The Egypt game is really excellent. My classmates think it was bad, but I think it was great! the book could use a picture of the alliigator stone; the pictures were good nonetheless. I think the book should end right there. Then in the sequel, they are all grown up and they're kids are playing the gypsy game. I would give this book a 10/10. this is because it had a good plot, and I love good plots.I don't think a book about Egypt could be anymore exciting than this!
