Title: Great first timer novel
Product review: Other reveiwers are correct-this book is no DaVinci Code. While the premises of the two books are similar, The Rule of Four is not the suspense/thriller that The DaVinci Code is. That said, however, I think the Rule of Four is a great book. I enjoyed learning about an ancient manuscript I had never heard of before, and I am always intrigued by hidden riddles, codes, etc. A few spots where I didn't care for the book are: Long narratives of memories that, while you read them, seem not to matter, but you get insight for later events. This is not a bad feature, but it took me a while to get used to it. The other minor flaw was how quickly and easily the books secrets were discovered. That seemed illogical to me. I also would have loved to know more about how the rule of four actually worked. It is alluded to as the answer, but we never really find out just how it helped solve the puzzle, or how the kids figured it out. In the end, though, I thoroughly recommend this book.
