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: SHOULD MAKE A GREAT FILM!!!!!!!!
Comment: I was so excited to see this book come out the other day, since I so eagerly anticipate the films release. I am an avid fan of the first film (my favorite movie), and Max Allan Collins' book. So I was thrilled to hear he would handle the novela1ation of the sequel. I obviously haven't seen the film yet, so I am unable to make a comparison. But from reading the book, I can say the film is going to be the wildest ride! It is the most epic work, and Collins' deft handling of the humour and human relationships is overshadowed only by his ability to craft rollercoaster chills and blockbuster thrills! His handling of bus chase sequence is a standout among many, and his description of the Scorpion King (The Rock in the film) makes him out to be the ultimate eight-legged terror! I was unable to pu the book down until I was finished, which was only about four hours. The author is so good at hooking his audience into the story (just as writer/director Stephen Sommers). I highly recommend The Mummy Returns, it's 288 pages of pure adventure!

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!
