The Hippopotamus Pool (Amelia Peabody Series #8) Book

I have already said how much I like this series. I like the things that stay the same; pretty predictable plot, mystery and romance between the unrivaled Amelia and her soul mate, the ever-manly Emerson. I also like the things that change; Ramses and Nefret growing up, the addition of new characters (David). As I have also said, I prefer to listen to these as narrated by Barbara Rosenblatt. I know the words were not written by her and credit should be given where credit is due, but Rosenblatt brings Amelia to life. She is a master at voices; I love listening to how Ramses changes as he grows up; he sounds more like his mother and father every day.

My favorite line; "It is impossible to be angry with a gentleman who pays you compliments, even impertinent compliments.....especially impertinent compliments."

I agree, my dear Amelia, I agree.
