     The Murder of King Tut by James Patterson and Martin Dugard is focusing on King Tut and his death. This story goes back to Ancient Egypt, which interests me. For that reason, I do like what I am reading. Ancient times is where people believe in gods. Gods that have specific jobs and looks. Getting to know King Tut more and what he did during that time, he seems like a God himself. Reading through his lifetime seems pretty interesting based on certain events. While going back to present day, King Tut still ihas an unknown death. Which leads me to my second reason. 

     If you know me, I love mystery books. So happens to be that the book, The Murder of King Tut, is a mystery book as well. Finding out the mystery of King Tut's death and learning history at the same time, it is a win-win. One of the mysteries is that Carter, the man who discovered King Tut's chamber, didn't find Tut's skeleton. He was there, but it wasn't in his tomb. Another mystery, that still lives on today, how did King Tut die? That sort of stuff really grabs me in. So, for that reason, I do like what I am reading.
