Title: Interesting Pieces, Poorly Assembled
Product review: The Rule of Four is entertaining, and could have been a great book, but it fails largely by trying to cram too many elements into the story and never really using any to fullest advantage. Have a feeling that these young authors will someday look back on this work with embarrassment -- but hope they try again as there is definitely promise for one or both to be excellent writers.The book suffers from sloppy explication (too much at times, too little at otheres) and some really unfortunate cliche plot elements, the worst being in the final chapter.Overall, it seems like what you might predict would be the result when two very smart recent college grads take six years to co-author a novel ...
