Mediocre at best

In all honesty, I would only recommend this one for people who are completely oblivious about ANYTHING regarding ancient Egypt (and for the "iron ear listeners" but I'll get there later). It is TRULLY a Beginner's Guide, but not just to the Book of The Dead, but to Egyptology as a whole. It keeps repeating the same thing over and over and over and over (even using the same words), pretending it is adding some more brilliant information to the chapter... when it is actually simply stating the obvious, and the same old information that we've always known (or can easily access on Wikipedia, in a much more concise and clear way).
I could bypass the lack of depth (especially because it is a beginner's guide) and dismiss the poorly developed textual structure of the book (and that is coming from someone whose first language isn't English, fyi). But I CANNOT forgive the AI Narrator! I can't stand it! We should never normalize this type of practice. It is insufferable! Companies should stop using this God awful resource to save some money, at the expanse of giving its costumers headaches. I don't care if people believe "technology is getting better", "it really sounds human and organic". Let me tell you something: it doesn't! There's a part where it calls the God "Ra" literally "R - A", as spelling the two letters. I mean.... Unacceptable! A true human being hired as a narrator would've NEVER committed this mistake. I only noticed the "Narrated by Virtual Voice" after getting the book. I will NEVER acquire another book that has this kind of accompanying description. It took me ages to listen to this "easy peasy" book because of the narrator. The text itself doesn't help much, but the virtual narrator just makes it insufferable.

it's informative, reads like a dissertation

I was hoping for the actual spells, etc. but this does provide great information about the Book of the Dead, without quoting any of it whatsoever.

Book of the dead

Poorly written by author. No actual book spells given. Waste of time. Save your moneynon this book.
