The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco

4.0

Definitely a classic.

I listened to the audiobook, which was extremely well done and immersive, however, maybe only listen to it if you are experienced listening to audiobooks. I had a hard time keeping characters straight and their relationships to each other, which is especially important in mysteries. Still, it didn't take too much away from the story. I could still understand the gist. I definitely think I needed the audiobook to get through it. There were some long sermons.

It's definitely not for everyone, but it's clever and charming and unique.
