Title: It was okay... But not worth the read.
Product review: In short, the book doesn't really get very exciting until the middle, until then we get lengthy histories about the characters, and about the book Hypnerotomachia. And when it does get exciting, the authors "fizzle" it out with lame flashbacks and side plots that have nothing to do with anything (like Tom and Katie's relationship, rediculously too much information about their relationship which has little to do with anything at all since it doesn't contribute to the plot). I bought this book with the hope of it being like the "Da Vinci Code" but it is nothing of the sort. The book rambles on and doesn't have any closure, you're left wondering and wanting to know more about the Hypnerotomachia, what the whole story was about. In the end, you will feel ripped off because nothing finishes, it is as if the authors are preparing us for a sequel.
