Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I love books. Many different kinds of books. I have over 600 of them & they are all my friends that I sometimes revisit when the mood strikes me. Some I was not thrilled with, but I could at least see what the author was going for. For me to give away a book is unheard of. I gave away "The Rule Of Four" as soon as I finished reading it, which took me longer than usual because it was so BORING & INANE! My mother has a great word to describe this book: "Discombobulated"! The premise of the book sounds intriguing, but the delivery is choppy, sophmoric, & greatly lacking! Just when I thought it was heating up, it went off in a completely different direction, bringing any hope of excitement or consistency to a grinding halt! Example: One of their friends takes a swan dive from a building-Was he pushed or did he kill himself?-- "My God! He's DEAD!" Takes a breath..."So....What are YOU wearing to the party?" (Well, maybe not EXACTLY like that but very close!) Reading this book gave me that feeling you get when you have to sneeze but CAN'T! If they wanted to write a book about life at Princeton & their socialistic "eating clubs" they should have just gone ahead & written it! Then maybe all these peeps who say that they recalled fond memories of their own college years would have been happy. The End. Bye-Bye, now. Instead, they attempted to promote it as a thriller (THEIR word, not MINE!)& threw in a murder or 2 in order to lure many of us into buying it! I greatly disagree with those that call it "intellectual", "cerebral", "thrilling"...It is NONE of these! It is pompous, self-serving, & boring!
