Title: sophomoric
Product review: The hype of The DaVinci Code has opened up a field for wannabes, and this book leads the pack. . Don't be misled by the stacks of this book in stores nationwide right next to the stacks of the DaVinci Code ~ "Rule" is not nearly as good as the "Code"!The four key characters have a close and plausible, if boring, relationship ~ comfortable at Princeton, for four years, which is the setting of the entire book, with flashbacks to important childhood experiences. They may go off-campus, which is a dangerous place, some people do get killed, but they never even leave town. Sure, references to people who live in New York (gasp !), and several have gone to Europe. But Princeton is boring, and these people are too.For two guys who graduated with distinction from Harvard and Princeton, they certainly could use some guidance in character development, and should be smart enough to know when to get the help of a top notch editor.
