The Rule of Four by Ian Caldwell & Dustin Thomason

Tom Sullivan and Paul Harris are determined to unlock the centuries old mystery behind an ancient Renaissance text before their graduation from Princeton, but just as they are about to discover its secrets, the campus is rocked with a series of suspicious deaths.

It's a complicated, intricate and sometimes difficult read. There are murders, romances, dangers and detection, and by the end the heroes are in a race not only to solve the puzzle, but also to stay alive. At times, I felt I wasn't smart enough to be reading this book; but, I stuck with it even if there were parts that I didn't understand at all. In the end, the feeling of being dumb left a bad taste in my mind and I couldn't say that I really liked the book.

Rating: 7 of 10.
