Book Reviews of The Rule of Four
Book Review: "Da Vinci Code" Is More Fun
Summary: 2 Stars
Overall, I was disappointed by this book. I hadn't really read anything about it prior to seeing it on display at the book store. Of course, I did know of the comparisons between it and "The Da Vinci Code," but after finishing Rule, I understand why Dan Brown's book has been on the bestseller list since its release and why this one has not. "The Rule of Four" is just no fun. I kept hoping that the suspense would pick up, but it never did.
Even aside from "The Da Vinci Code," Rule lacks. The characters all speak like 40 year old professors. I get that they're smart, they attend an Ivy league school, but I found it a big turn-off. They're my age, yet I wouldn't want to be friends with any of them. And I'm supposed to care about them and this mystery.
Ultimately, The Hypernowhosywhatsit is interesting, in itself. The fictional story that has been crafted around it is what I didn't like.
