Title: Interesting premise but a dull end-result
Product review: I love the premise - 500 year old book filled with riddles and puzzles. But the lack of character development and over-dependence on descriptive day-to-day college life makes the end result dull. The authors, if they continue writing, will undoubtedly learn how to develop characters without resorting to simply describing the characters and the character's feelings. But as for this book, 80% of it is exactly that - a descriptive narrative of a group of college seniors and their daily actions and feelings. I don't feel as if I got to know or empathize with any of these characters despite learning eveything about them.As for the ancient book and it's mysteries - interesting at times, but there were too few of these moments.All in all, a forgettable read.
