Summary: A stunning book.
Comment: I've always had something of an interest in Egyptian mythology and especially art, so this book is a goldmine for me. The plates are astoundingly beautiful in my opinion, and the translation is...well...it's hard to read, but I imagine there's no other way for it to be; it's of an ancient language very different than English. But it is readable, and it offers interesting insights into the pantheon--how even the god most commonly called the evil god had some very good and noble purposes. So it helps flesh out the gods and goddesses in ways that ordinary books with stories can't.

Rating: 5
Summary: An Outstanding addition for anyone interested in Egypt
Comment: This book is an outstanding translation and presentation of the books that make up the Papyrus of Ani. Faulkner is far superior to Budge, and this book proves it out. In addition to the beautiful pictures and fine translations, the commentaries in the back, along with the explanations of the vignettes contained in the papyrus are well worth the money. A must for anyone interested in Ancient Egypt and their culture.

Summary: Review
Comment: I gave it a three because I thought it contained other information, but however it is a good guide to the ancient rituals of Egypt. It's contents just tell about what they said and all during the process of the ceremonies.
