Title: Disappointing unfortunately
Product review: I read this on a flight back and forth to the east coast and it put me to sleep the first trip. The second was way more entertaining. I found the first 200-300 pages slow and underproductive. Far too much time was spent trying to develop the past relationship Tom had with his father and with his current girlfriend.Paul did not get quite enough time in my eyes, as he was the main person struggling with the decoding. I did like the extra two characters, but honestly, their arguements had nothing to do with the story or growth of the main two.Now the actual Hypnerotomachia sections were alive and brought you back in. The saving grace was that the authors tossed tiny crumbs as you went along just to make sure you finished the whole book and didn't skip ahead. I would have prefered a short story of 100-150 pages over the whole thing.As often as I pick up just any book at random and usually enjoy it, this one left me wondering why I was seeing Best Sellers list on the cover
