wow---I finally finished this ---what secrets did we learn??? What was the great mystery???---I DO now know more about Princeton than I did before---crappy characters too....maybe I just could never read for more than 10 pages at a time---If you are a normal guy who liked Dan Brown's books, don't let anybody tell you this compares favorably---If they do and you do read it, remember to take the book and slap them upside the head when you finish!!!---It is a nice size for that---
Michael Bongiovi

It was horribly boring, and only the snootiest pseudo-intellectuals will tell you it was worth reading. Biggest waste of time ever!

This book flat out STINKS! Why do I care about this text whose secrets they are trying to unlock? Why should anyone? Questions the authors should have answered early on in the story. Truth is, nobody cares and the authors don't explain any significance of knowing its true meaning. The first two thirds of this book are one boring princeton related story after another. Poor character development and lack of a story line in general really hurt the novel. No doubt these are two bright guys, they could probably do much better. I didn't expect a 'Divinci Code' type story, but please, how about some drama instead of rambling and rambling and rambling on about NOTHING! DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!
