Review of 'The rule of four' on 'GoodReads'

4 stars

Very well written book that tells the story of Princeton students deciphering a renaissance book by solving different riddles contained in the book itself.

I was a bit bothered by the place taken by the friendship and love anecdotes between the students, the difference between the two levels of discourse and the somewhat inflated importance of a trivial love relationship revealing maybe the youthfulness of the authors.
