The book is better than the movie!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I have been a fan of the mummy movies from the beginning and was excited about the 3rd installment. I saw the movie and was so dissapointed. But my dissapointment subsided when I read this book! It is so much better than the movie and makes up for the holes the movie script has created in the O'Connel storyline. The author has a way of writing that brings the characters to life! If the script writers had read this book first the movie would have been great!
I can't wait to see the movie!

Having seen both of the previous movies (The Mummy & The Mummy Returns), I decided to buy the book - The Mummy: The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor and found it a rather enjoyable read. The book starts off in The Dragon Emperor's day and shows the reader what sort of man he was. The next chapter moves to the current day. The book is filled with the action in the typical style of The Mummy. While reading it, I found that I was able to visualise the characters who had been in the The Mummy movies saying the dialogue and the manner in which they say it (such as Rick & Evy O'Connell and Evy's brother Jonathon). After reading The Mummy: The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor I can't wait until the movie is released here in Australia (September 11).

It is an epic story. It has a lot of action and adventure. But it takes place in China in 1946. Overall it gives us the kind of story we want. Brendan Fraser and Jet Li who play the main characters in the movie will make it a big hit. I look forward to seeing it. But why did it take so long for it to come to life?
