Title: It Might Better Be Titled the Rule of Snooze
Product review: Normally, I love these kinds of books. Katherine Neville's, The Eight and the Magic Circle were my favorite books until the Da Vinci Code came along. However, I found this book ponderous. Perhaps if I'd been a Princeton alum or even an Ivy Leaguer, I'd have been more interested. The plotting plods along, the mysterious coding in the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili seems poorly integrated into the text and the love story is stilted. The book is far more plausible in pace and plot than the Da Vinci code, but the thrills simply aren't there. I thought I would love it, I didn't.
