Title: Waste of trees and time...blech!
Product review: Since when was a detailed recounting of Ivy League traditions a "sensitive coming of age tale"? And how does anyone involved in the marketing of this tedious, painfully slow snooze have the nerve to call it suspense? The comparison to Da Vinci Code would be laughable, if it wasn't snookering so many people into a mind-numbingly dull experience. DVC may have all sorts of flaws, but it sure was a breathless page-turner. While Rule of Four has an intriguing premise (albeit the fourth such novel to hit stores this year), the execution is terrible. I would not have finished it if I wasn't so curious to discover why it was so well reviewed. I kept thinking, surely there will be some brilliant twist--something!--to make this garbage worthwhile. Alas, there wasn't.
