Book 2004.10.18 - The Rule of Four

Currently reading The Rule of Four by Ian Caldwell and Dustin Thomason.

People have made comparisons between this book and Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code, but personally I think they're not of the same league. The Rule of Four is much harder to read: the going is slower, a lot of details and references are mentioned, but not explained; unlike Da Vinci Code where Langdon goes about explaining everything.

If you want a quick read and non-stop suspense/action, then go for DVC. I've been reading ROF for a couple of days now. Have to take a break after every few pages to digest the information. I'm already past the middle of the book, and the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili is just starting to reveal its secrets.
