Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco

korol_rezni's review against another edition

2.0

Okay, this book is not for me. I love the plot and idea, but all that conspiracy theory dialogs that go on and on hundreds of pages ruin the story. I understand that this is what the writer wants. To show something different so you can concentrate on something other than the plot. Unfortunately, I hate conspiracy theories and it is way more boring for me even though I love history and cults. If you are into it, then it may be the book for you since it is well written.

Really wasn't into this. Finished it mainly out of spite, I think.
