Do anda like the switching points of view in The Red Pyramid? I do. If not, which view do anda like better? At some points I like Carter's more, and at other points I like Sadie's more. I really think that the switching of tampilan was a good idea because at that time Sadie may be trying to sleep atau may be unconius. atau Carter was waiting for Sadie and Anubis's talk to end while they were at a funeral in a parallel universe. (Yes these are examples of the book.) If anda couldn't have Sadie's point of view and Carter's point of view switch off, who would anda rather it be? I would do Bast and Zia. Bast starting off, since she was there earlier, and whoever ending since Bast went into the Daut, and Zia's shatbi broke. Although, Sadie and Carter's point of view transactions fit the best, in my opinion. Also, anda would miss so much if it was in another peron's. Because if it was in Zia atau Bast's point of view while Carter was battling Set with Sadie saving him, anda would pratically miss that whole chapter. I think it ould be really bad if it wsa in Khufu's point of view, atau Phillip's, Anubis's, Amos's, atau Dr. Julis Kanes point of view since they were in the book less than half of the time. However, if it was in Shezmu's point of view (monster in Daut) I would like to know lebih of how he got to the place where he was, and about his adventure. What's your opinion???

 I can't wait!!!
I can't wait!!!
Everybody in this club is dying for the release of the takhta of api on May 3, 2011. For those who want a spoiler of the first chapter of the takhta of Fire-if anda still haven't read it-, go to this site:

link

I'm guessing when anda read this, your just going to be lebih impatient for waiting for The takhta of Fire.

The story of Carter and Sadie with their new tranies(hope I spelled that right) travelling the world to find The Book of Ra! Exiting start, exiting middle and ending.

I hope all of us won't be let down oleh RR(which is VERY unlikely) when the book is released.

P.S If anda DO get lebih impatient, sorry...

Well...Bye for now!!!
 Go, Kane Chronicles!

Amun - God of Creation, crowned with ostrich feathers

Amun was an important god, but there are no stories about him. He created all things. At the same time, he remained apart from creation, totally different from it, and fully independent from it. In fact, he was invisible, so anda couldn't have a picture of him! However, if anda called him Amun-Re, this allowed people to see him. Then he had a hat with ostrich feathers on, and like all gods with human heads, a beard. Re is another way of spelling Ra, the sun god.

Tutankhamun's name contains the name of Amun. It also contains the Ankh, which means Life. His name means "Long life to Amun."
    
Amun is sometimes spelled Ammon. The fossil ammonites are called after him, because his sacred animal is a ram, and ammonites are shaped like ram's horns.
