kronosbach 's review for:
The Name of the Rose
by Umberto Eco
The Name of the Rose is an intresting novel. It certainly has themes, although I would embarass myself if I tried to list them.
I liked the character of William, the protagonist of the novel. His detective skills were quite intresting.
I did not love reading this, I felt bored a few times and struggled to motivate myself to keep reading. That's not to say that the book is badly written, it's a me issue.
I do think that I would be interested in reading a shorter book by Umberto Eco, maybe a history on Italian heresies. That could be very fun, although obviously me saying I'd like an unwritten book is a useless statement in some ways. Consider it praise for the man's ability to captivate me with his nerd facts.
There are weird moments in the book, of the two major plots I felt like both resolve well, but both left me dissatisfied during their midpoints.
