Title: Worth a read
Product review: Because of the comparisons to "The Da Vinci Code" I put off reading this. I mean what can compare to the "The Da Vinci Code" ? Come to find out this doesn't compare quite so much. While it is a puzzle book of sorts, you are given all the answers and not allowed to use your brain. It does involve an ancient book, the "Hypnertomachia Poliphili" and the mysteries surrounding it. Set at Princeton, two students, one of which is writing his thesis on this book, are so possessed by its charms that they get little sleep until they solve the mysteries that have remained so elusive. Unlike "The Da Vinci Code" we find out a lot more about the characters in the book and what makes them tick. That this was written by two recent college graduates is amazing as the references to history and literature.Quite different from Dan Brown's books, it's still worth a read !
