A review by technically_direct
The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco

challenging dark informative mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

Frankly I think more novels should have a lengthy postscript discussing why certain choices were made and getting into the weeds on literary theory. It's fun!
