A review by danielkallin04
The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco

5.0

Eco makes a perfect murder-mystery page turner which just so happens to be an exploration into semiotics and 14th-century Christian factionalism, is only slightly dense, filled with untranslated Latin passages, and yet incredibly gripping. There's nothing more fascinating than sin, hiding and banning something only makes it more enticing. Eco is a master.
