Thankfully it is different from any of Dan Brown's stuff (generic attractive-woman-specialist-ends-up-with-attractive-older-man-over-24-hours thing). The book does suffer in slightly slower pacing, and an occasionally unclear timeline, where you're not sure if stuff happened now, yesterday, or three months ago. On the whole is readable though. Se lo envío a Esther Martínez Rubio, grupo Facebook - febrero 2021 NA Perhaps more accurately described as an adventure in researching a historical text, and less about adventure and puzzles as with the Da Vinci code.
As a thriller, The Rule of Four is not especially fast-paced, but the personalities and relationships are well-handled, as is the narrator's conflict between his desire for a normal relationship with his girlfriend and the sense that he is being dragged into dangerous obsession. This is good entertainment, a Da Vinci Code for people with brains. This promises well for the future of the authors, either together or separately. Next time, their ambition may vault lower and their presentation smoother, but meanwhile The Rule of Four is a great read on its own youthfully brash terms. The title, by the way, refers not (or not only) to the roommates or to their college years but again to the encryption in the Hypnerotomachia. It is never fully explained.

Two Princeton University seniors are struggling to solve the mysteries of the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, a cryptic text that has baffled scholars for 500 years. When a long-lost clue surfaces, they have a chance to decipher the final secret. But when a fellow scholar of the text is murdered for knowing too much, they realize that they know even more.

Una mediocre esposizione storico/artistica sprecata.
Inutile. (
