Title: Boring
Product review: This is a book that I started out with a lot of high expectations. Murder, strange ciphers in an old text, intrigue and deception. I thought I was getting it with this book but it was a bore. By half way through the book I realized that there was NOTHING going on in the story. I struggled on hoping for a climax and none came. I thought this book was terrible. I think I would have more fun and interest reading the Hypnerotomachia myself. It would be more interesting. The characters were wooden with none clearly defining themselves at any point. It seemed as if if was written for a teenage audience. I give it two stars because the author really had a great premise to tie a fictional story in with the Hypnerotomachia. I now would like to read it myself and if it wasn't for them I probably would never have heard of it. But, other than that, this novel was rubbish.
