The Book of Four - Review
When I saw the cover and the title of this book, I was hoping that it would be as exciting as The Da Vinci Code. I like mystery, thriller, mix with history and science. That reason made me bought The Book of Four. But the book was very dissapoingting. The science and the history are there in the book, although not much. The mystery is there, the thriller is almost non-existence. The setting at the University of Princeton, the students life, the girlfriends, the thesis….all of these made the book really bland and boring. I did manage to finish reading, luckily. Just so to make me feel that I didn’t waste my money on buying the book. I just can’t believe that it took the authors 6 years to finish this book, which is their first. May be the research costed that much time, I just hope that the writing costed them only 20%. All in all it is uninteresting.
