Title: Nothing to get excited about.
Product review: This book is like the person who thinks they have it all -- looks, personality, charm, charisma. But, the realty is that they are unoriginal, boring and try too hard. When I finished The Rule of Four I thought nothing. I didn't hate it and I didn't love it. It was forgettable. The book starts off with the main character, Tom Sullivan, telling the reader about the Hyperotomachia, the mysterious book that is the center of the story. This would be great, but the authors fail to give the reader a reason to care. They seem to be so caught up in writing the story with it's complicated riddles and details of snobby ivy league students that they forget that a story is only compelling and passionate to the reading public if they can in some way identify or empathize with it. Therefore, I read the book always feeling like I was waiting for something to happen. Something with real emotion. Something truly intriguing. Something I could care about. Sadly I never got that.
