Summary: An exciting novelization of the new movie.
Comment: This book is a novelization of the film The Mummy Returns, which is the sequel to The Mummy. It is set in 1933, ten years after the first movie. Rick O'Connell and Evelyn Carnahan are now married and have an eight-year-old son named Alex. While in Egypt exploring the ruins of an ancient temple, Rick and Evy find the Bracelet of Anubis. They bring it back home to London. Even though he knows it will anger his parents, Alex plays with the bracelet and accidentally sets off a chain reaction that could lead to the end of the world. When Alex is kidnapped, Rick and Evy must race against time to save their son and prevent the end of the world. I loved the movie The Mummy, and after reading this book I am even more excited about seeing the upcoming sequel, coming to theaters in May.

Summary: Great Novel, Great Movie
Comment: The Mummy Returns is easily one of the best movies I have ever seen. I find it fresh, original, emotional, and suspensful, and reading the novel is just as gripping as watching the movie.
I found the first movie to be very cliched, with Evelyn as a clumsy damsel in distress. In the Mummy Returns, her character undergoes a considerable and very welcome improvement: Evelyn is now as strong as rick, and she even saves the day herself a couple of times. This book is differant from the movie, and that involves the methods of worshiping the scorpian King, but the story still wraps up satisfying

Summary: A Terrible and Offensive Book!
Comment: My friend and I have watched the movie a zillion times, and have memorized almost every line. We wanted to read this book because of our love for the movie. This book was the WORST book based on a movie I've ever read! The dialogue was awful, and so were the character portrayals! Evie is portrayed as a racist snob commenting on Ardeth's people ("Yes, such amusing notions these primitives have."). Rick is portrayed as a stupid smart-aleck welcoming Izzy ("Izzy! Is you is or is you ain't my baby!"). Alex is portrayed as a whining baby saying to Lock-nah ("I'll just pee in my pants, and I'll tell your boss lady you wouldn't let me go to the bathroom..."). Meela/Anck-su-namun is portrayed as a smart, upbeat woman saying to Jonathan ("You see, I have a photographic memory..."). Jonathan is portrayed as a wise-cracking idiot replying to Meela ("That's a coincidence. I have a pornographic memory, myself."). Imhotep is portrayed as a weak, sympathetic man when he is barely able to lift Alex up, and then wags a finger at him, scolding him ("Naughty, naughty."). Also, some of the dialogue was not set in the right time period (1934). For example, Alex says that his visions are "better than a ViewMaster," and Jonathan says that a picture looks like a "surveillance photograph." I was VERY offended at how this book was written! If you LOVE the movie, DON'T buy this book!
