3.5 / Definitely took me a chunk of time to work through. Lengthy and overly descriptive at times (especially moments where the story really picks up), but overall a satisfying read.

Che dire di questo libro? Penso che fiumi d'inchiostro siano già stati spesi.
Per me si tratta di una rilettura di un'imposizione liceale e passati diversi anni volevo capire se il mio parere non proprio positivo fosse mutato. Da una parte ho apprezzato molto il Medioevo, la sua filosofia, le persone che lo abitavano, ma questo non ha fatto altro che confermare che non si tratta di una lettura per tutti, anzi. Se consigliato al liceo, l* docente dovrebbe fare una doverosa premessa sullo stile, prima di buttarlo in pasto a dei ragazzi.
Riguardo a Eco, penso che si sia divertito, che abbia dato sfogo a una voglia per soddisfare se stesso e poi che con cuore leggero abbia condiviso con i lettori le sue fatiche.
Non darò una votazione perchè non credo di poter essere imparziale.
dark funny informative mysterious reflective relaxing medium-paced

The 2 main characters are written very strongly, and serve as both a good platform for the author's ideas, as well as ideas held at the time the novel takes place. It can be slow in certain parts, but it all adds up to a satisfying look at meaning, books, and religion.

Phenomenal! I love everything about this book. Deep cut polyglot Church lore, monastic mystery, fanaticism and semiotics. Cannot wait to re-read this one once some of the details have faded. 10/10

Didn't care for this one. Too wordy. Like an over explained Sherlock Holmes.
