The Egyptian Book of Living & Dying: The Illustrated Guide to Ancient Egyptian Wisdom
This was an OK book. It's confusing, because the slim volume with bright colors,drawings, and photographs with small asides every few pages looks like it is a elementary school textbook, but it is definitely written for a slightly older audience.
The book is a little dry and it was hard to keep myself interested. It left me wanting more information and complete myths (which it lacked for the most part). It seems like a good overall overview of how religion was involved in the every day life of an ancient Egyptian.
