The Riddle of the Sphinx | Alexandre Montagu

I really dislike slating someone's hard work ... oh, who am I trying to kid ? I LOVE a good Panning!

This was incredibly dire. I hated it intensely and wish I'd not wasted my time. Definitely in my Top Ten of Worst Books Ever.

It's based on Buddhist principles, apparently. I wanted the actual Sphinx and a bit of Indiana Jones-esque action! I most definitely had the wrong book.

The author has certain words that are his obvious favourites 🙄
