 Deft Debut May 08, 2007
By Ryan Messner
"dailymess"
While pre-ordering Palahniuk's, Rant: An Oral Biography of Buster Casey, I stumbled across this debut novel. I read the three Amazon reviews, and then Googled the author's name to get the 411 on Mr. Weinberg. Turns out that he's fairly young, published the book himself, and writing is only a hobby for him. That was enough for me to take the $16.98 gamble on Rule Number 5.
The first 100+ pages I read in one sitting, which is extremely rare for me as I typically only read while making the short commute to and from work. "Entrancing" is the first adjective that comes to mind.
The remainder of the novel was equally entertaining, and I can see why another reviewer mentioned traces of other great authors. There were definitely some insightful and educational parts which reminded me of Douglas Coupland's writing style (much more plot development here though). Rule Number 5 doesn't offer any dark, mind blowing plot twists, but I noticed specks of Chuck Palahniuk as well... mainly with the repetition and anarchy.
This story probably won't change your life. Although, if you're looking to get lost in a well composed, suspenseful, (and somewhat) transgressional fiction novel, then add Rule Number 5 to your shopping cart now.

Thrilling and Unpredictable Jul 25, 2007
By A. Perne
This book kept me involved until the very end. I was immediately drawn in to the story and couldn't help but read this novel in only two or three long sittings. It is very fast-paced and somewhat disjointed to add to the suspense. The reader is able to view the events from varying vantage points, with some key passages repeated from a different character's point of view. It reads like a Palahniuk in its structure and caculated detail -- it is evident that the author has reasearched many topics in order to give the story an authentic context. Highly reccommended -- excellent debut!
Excellent read Oct 22, 2008
By M. Kinsley
I picked up the book looking for a pleasant distraction and instead I was drawn into the plot immediately. The characters are people you'd recognize in your own life and Mr. Weinberg quickly gets you emotionally invested in their story. The novel is a page turner - which kept me up way past my bedtime - with quite a surprise ending. A great book to take on vacation.
Gripping thriller - great plot and original ending. Oct 20, 2008

I enjoy reading thrillers/crime novels, usually by the same well-known authors and was made aware of Weinburg's Rule Number 5 through recommendation. I am certainly glad I listened as the book was exciting from the first few pages and didn't let up until the final sentence. I particularly liked the fact that the storyline went far beyond what I thought it would from the major event in the first few pages and that the ending was surprising, with several twists and turns in the last 100 pages or so. I would thoroughly recommend Rule Number 5 to any thriller/crime readers as this book cannot fail to hold your attention.
Must Read Jan 17, 2008
By M. Gilbert
Much like the other reviewers note, I was instantly drawn into the book and stayed up way too late to finish it within 3 sittings. The book has an interesting story line that's fast paced, yet well-developed at the same time. The author's style offers perspective and smart observations about life, all while delivering an action-packed adventure. I have recommended this book to family and friends and look forward to additional publications by Weinberg.
