segoy 's review for:

The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco
5.0

I'm going to have to go with 5 stars on this one - it was a challenging read, but you have to respect the craft when it's executed on this level.

Despite how long-winded and self-indulgent the prose is, it's a masterclass in philosophical writing and exploring a theme meaningfully. Definitely a book that's worth spending time with, though for my own preferences I would have wanted something a bit more accessible / reader-friendly.
