Title: Great core, but lousy filler
Product review: I loved the premise of this book. It sounded like an intellectual thriller. Everything that revolved around the Hypnerotomachia was fascinating. However, it was lost in so much filler. The filler consisted of flat characters and more history on Princeton than I ever cared to know about. Finally, the chapters seemed utterly unrelated to each other as they skipped back and forth awkwardly.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
