The Rule of Four question

If you enjoy books such as "Da Vinci Code" I would definitely recommend it. I personally enjoyed it more than Da Vinci. The main characters are younger, set at a college, which is why I think I liked it better.

No

No. It does not come anywhere near the Da Vinci Code. The action seems to be an afterthought and the main story seems to be Princeton

I read it a long time ago, and remember loving the plot, writing, character development etc, but not so much the ending. The ending is not where it peaks.

I was determined to finish the book.
I Kept HOPING it would get BETTER, but Sadly it did not.

A complete load of dull nonsense. Avoid like plague.

Extremely boring.

Hi Anne I agree with you and am a great lover of Steve Berry's books

It's been a while since I read this book, but I remember the pace being pretty slow. If you're looking for more Dan Brown type books with an exciting, action-based mystery tied into history, I'd recommend any of Steve Berry's books--especially The Alexandria Link, The Third Secret, and The Romanov Prophecy.

I don't know. I don't read "page-turners" very often, but I liked this one enough to read through it. Though it wasn't amazing, I wanted to know what would happen, unlike other books of this sort I've tried. While I thought it was "worth" finishing, I did not find it otherwise outstanding.

It has been a while since I have read this book but I truly enjoyed it, but I tend to like books most people don't.

This book is a solid "meh".

I picked this to read due to recommendations and that it was for da vinci fans. I am sorry to say that I never got into it and found the plot hard to get a feel for and felt it was all a bit disjointed.

This thought provoking book by Ian Caldwell and Dustin Thomason is definitely worth the read.

note: Comment on the subject and it's author. Please.

I found the writing terrible and the plot predictable.

Better then Brown, (but then again,who isn't?), more litterary value for your money, but not worth your time....

I remember reading this book and enjoyed it very many years ago.

I really enjoyed the book and as the others said above, I started reading it after Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons. It really is a worthwhile read especially if the interested readers are those still hooked with the mystery/suspense genre but want a different setting.

I agree with Robert - by the benchmark of the Da Vinci code, it is a shining example of literary accomplishment and gripping adventure. But this benchmark is easy to beat... Still, not a bad book, quite enjoyable, and a fun read for the most part. I was disappointed with the solution, which does not actually work. If you read it, you'll see why...

The book very dull. I would skip it.

Better than Dan Brown (what isn't?), it's similar to but not nearly as good as Donna Tartt's Secret History. Read that instead.

Outstanding book. I was hooked from the time the book started until I was done. Loved the character development, the plot, the twists and turns, and everything. Awesome book! Angels and Demons is my absolute least favorite of Dan Brown's books. So to compare "The Rule of Four" to it, there is absolutely no comparison at all. I could have gotten by just fine without ever reading it. However I love love love all the others of Brown. Just the one I don't like.
