Title: Story was a slow read - not real captivating
Product review: There are 2 separate stories here both of which could be great but when combined are lacking. The book revolves around several people who have a common bond through an old book (Hypnoternachia???) that will offer the reader a secret beyond their expectations if they can break the book's code. In the background is a story about Princeton and all the history that institution holds. Going back and forth between the two leaves me wondering how great either story might have been if they separated the 2. I had read the DaVinci code and mistakenly thought this book would be along the same lines - that was an assumption I shouldn't have brought into this book. Because of that I was frustrated that the read wasn't as quick or the history wasn't as detailed. I would urge the authors to go back and write a book about the history of Princeton and their eating clubs. They talked a little about it but it sounds like that could be a book of its own.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
