The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco
4.0

I finally finished this book! The beginning was a bit slowly paced, but after a hundred pages I began to really enjoy this story. It's definitely an interesting and unique murder mystery full of biblical and historical references. I did not understand everything to be honest and I cannot read Latin, but I really liked this extra layer. As I wrote earlier, it's very slow paced and quite difficult to understand, but I was intrigued by the story and curious about how it would end!
