A review by paulataua
Baudolino by Umberto Eco

3.0

I loved ‘The Name of the Rose’ and enjoyed ‘Foucault’s Pendulum’ when I read them back in the eighties, and this was my return to Umberto Eco after such a long time. Eco is clever and maybe too clever for me, and I really struggled to get through this. Although I thought the ending was good, much that went before it was often not relevant to the story and sometimes quite boring. Not recommended unless you are a real Eco fan.
