The Rule of Four by Ian Caldwell & Dustin Thomason

Post by Khat »

I just started this one. Anyone else reading this? Your thoughts?

So far I am intregued so I keep reading... although I feel I am running through a never-ending labyrinth of narrative and slow discovery... I sure hope it's worth the read.

I wasn't a big fan of it, though you could do better it's worth the read.

One of my biggest pet peeves about books is when I get the sense that the author wishes he was the main character and/or modeled the main character after himself. I don't know why but that bother me about that book :roll: Maybe I'm too picky.

Thanks Claire = in this case it is two authors who have been best friends since gradeschool. Maybe they have created Tom and Paul after themselves. It makes sense. I'm trying to finish before tonight so I can be free to enjoy HP and the Halfblood Prince.

This book WAS a NY Times BestSeller...

And when it comes to books you can be as picky as you want!
