Summary: How odd...
Review: I've looked at "The Mummy" dvd over 50 times and then got the book. I was dissapointed with it's content. It looks like the story in the book wasen't from the OFFICIAL script, but an old script they had. On the dvd we see scenes cut out of the movie and in this book they were in there. I got lost from times to times since there were dialogues from actors that weren't even in the movie itself. I know - I'm an obsessed mummy fan.

Summary: Fun!
Review: Max Allan Collins' novelization of the 1999 film "The Mummy" is a lot of fun. Which is of course what you would expect, since the movie itself was such pure unadulterated fun.It does what most good novelizations do, it fleshes out the characters a little more. It provides some background information on the characters and storyline. The novelization is also very helpful for explaining a bit more about the ancient Egyptian ceremony where Imhotep tries to resurrect his dead love, Anck-su-namun. The novel also focuses on the romance aspect between Evelyn and O'Connell, much more than the movie. If you enjoyed the recent Mummy movie, you would probably enjoy this book. It's a fun and fast read. As long as you don't expect anything more from it, you should enjoy this book.

Summary: "Mummy" Knows Best
Review: OK, "The Mummy" a book written by Max Allan Collins was made into the 1999 sleeper hit, "The Mummy"! Since I'm a big fan of the "Mummy" movie, I just had to read the book. In the book it shows more detail, which makes it much more clarer (that is if you've seen the movie). It starts out with Imotep, High Priest of Osiris. He starts to fall in love with the pharough's wife. Of course the pharough himself finds out and something terrible happens (I won't tell much of the good secrets!) to him! So then his wife, Anuck-Su-Naumn (Pronounced- A-KNOCK-SUE-NA-MOON) does devotes her body to Imotep and then kills her self. So somehow Anuck-Su-Naumn & Imotep framed this "secret" and don't get caught, well she is dead and he tries to ressurect her with a cool underground alter. Imotep is caught and is now one dead mummifed man. So now were in the 1900's, and a women named Evy and Rick join up and accidently raise Imotep alive. he goes back tring to regenerate and get his girlfriend back alive. So now they must save the world, but will they survie? Who knows, unless you read this great book............. PS: There is one turndown on this book, it is in small print and long so kids might have a harder time reading this book!

Summary: This was one of the finest horror stories I've ever read.
Review: Rick O'Connell is a captain in the French Foreign Legion, treasure hunting in the Sahara, when he stumbles upon the Lost City of the Dead. Evylen Carnarhan is a librarian fascinated with Egyptology, and she believes that O'Connell may have found the greatest archaelogical find of all time. When they set out for the City of the Dead, with Evylen's brother in tow and other treasure seekers, they have no idea about the horror which is about to confront them as they enter the long-locked realm of the undead, High Priest of Osiris, Imhotep, cursed for all time to terrorize the world and spread plagues upon it.

Summary: Bin it.
Review: The film was okay and I thought the book might pad it out a bit. Was I wrong. No decent characterisation and some really annoying dialogue. Not to mention the blatant errors in portraying Egyptian history. Did this guy do any research on his subject at all?
