Title: Why is this book so popular???
Product review: I might have liked this book better had it not been compared to the Da Vinci Code. Now THAT was a great book! The great mystery in this book has lasted 500 years - yet its unraveled pretty easily by random people popping in the main characters dorm room. I found the main character rather unlikable. He is this kind of geeky self absorbed character - and yet is doted on by his girlfriend who stepped off the screen of Dawson's Creek (and is even named Katie) and by his glamour room mates. I don't get it. The two main characters are pretty well drawn out - but the girlfriend and room mates are fantasy caricatures. There were also some editing problems. All in all - pretty mediocre with a few clever moments thrown in. I want to get rid of my copy but I certainly won't give it to any of my friends to read!
