WOW! Where to begin? Papyrus is one of those books I would love to see turned into a movie. It is an amazing work of art which perfectly blends ancient history, modern technology, political instability, romance, friendship and trust. For me, this mix made it extremely real and interesting on all levels. I loved it!It is exceptionally readable, really easy to follow and hard to put down. The author took what I would have taken a long time to discover through history books and made it available in a fictitious yet very well researched story.It was easy for the author to switch between two different periods (present and ancient Egypt) but with such graceful continuity that readers drifted easily between the two eras without getting lost or confused.Characters were almost real and the author describes each one in such a way that made me relate to them and understand their emotions.There was plenty of heroism at different levels demonstrated by different people but the one person that stood out most was the main lady Rika. The whole story seemed to link with Rika. I loved and admired her for she was an African woman who was very patriotic. Rika was held back by nothing and no one. She was passionate and empowered herself in so many ways. So much I could relate to her on. Needless to say she was my favorite character.The action was consistent throughout the book from start to finish but never did it feel overwhelming. It was just the right amount scattered strategically through the book and all totally unexpected.Papyrus is not one of those ordinary predictable books. The writing touched me so much that I read parts of it to my boyfriend. I highly recommend it.
