Title: The Rule of Knock-Offs
Product review: Like many people, I was sucked into the idea that this was going to be "The Next 'Da Vinci Code'." Instead what I was treated to was a relatively dull "mystery" about four college kids living seemingly dull lives. The campus descriptions were uninteresting, especially all of the nonsense about social clubs and how you get in to the clubs to EAT. Whoopee. The "twists" of the book were elementary at best, and the spoon-feeding of the "mysteries" and "riddles" of the book down right amateurish. And the ending was as predictable and lame as a hackneyed made for TV movie. None of the characters were all that interesting. The love interest was loveless, sexless and relationshipless. They could have been robots for all I know. Not a well crafted book, at least not one that deserved to have its name uttered in the same sentence as Dan Brown's brilliant 'Da Vinci Code'. Save your money. Get it at the bargain bin, or from the public library.
