NA   pszolovits | Feb 3, 2021 |  Perhaps more accurately described as an adventure in researching a historical text, and less about adventure and puzzles as with the Da Vinci code. (  ) pikaia280 | Mar 22, 2020 | The quote on the front cover from the People Magazine review.......'if you loved the Da Vinci Code...dive into this' is a little misleading in my mind. Although there are comparisons that can be drawn, this never really attains the pace of narrative or thrill of the chase that Dan Brown achieves. ( ) Alan301261 | Nov 10, 2019 | Leuk boek, hoewel het verhaal mij lange tijd onduidelijk bleek. het basis-idee was leuk, proberen een eeuwen-oud boek te ontcijferen, waar velen hebben gefaald. Tot heel lang leek dit te gaan lukken, maar uiteindelijk is het niet gelukt... Of toch wel. Ook de setting was mooi. Verhaal speelde zich geheel af in en rond de universiteit van Princeton en de (stoom)tunnels van deze universiteit. Had het idee dat als de schrijvers de hoofdrol spelers nog iets verder hadden uit ontwikkeld dat er een nog mooier verhaal van was gekomen. Kan me ook niet helemaal aan de indruk onttrekken dat het verhaal op het eind een beetje afgeraffeld werd. Toch 4 sterren. (  ) EdwinKort | Oct 18, 2019 | I was a little disappointed with this book. I guess I was expecting it to be more like the DaVinci Code books. But is was a little dull for my tastes, and the "revelations" in the book were not that interesting to me. I was also irritated by the way the authors and the characters seemed to feel so self important because they were at Princeton. While there may be a small group of people who are impressed with Princeton, I have the feeling that the majority of people couldn't care less about it or it's antiquated rituals. The book itself was ok. Not an exciting read, but not a terrible read either. I did like the main character Tom, and wished he could have had a better outcome in the book. It was sad to see friendships fall apart. ( ) readingover50 | Jun 11, 2019 |
 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.
