Romanzo profondo, molto dettagliato nell’ambito dell’occulto, forse troppo a tratti. Poca azione e molte congetture. 7

A fun book, at times a slog. Dense with juicy little nuggets to look up on YouTube or Wikipedia but understanding them is not part of enjoying the book. The whole point here is to keep your head above the esoteric waters. Go ahead and swim but remember to come up for air.
7/10 :)

Eco throws the reader into a fascinating maze and the first two-thirds of the book largely entailed this reader figuring out how to read the book. But when plot finally kicks into gear, the reader is in for a thrilling ride alongside a generous serving of philosophical musing on the nature of personal satisfaction.

Thank God for Tim Curry's narration. Yeesh. I normally enjoy Umberto Eco's dense, obscure subjects and plodding, mysterious narratives. But then again, the other novels of his I've read have more interesting characters. I just couldn't get behind this pack of insufferable, bored intellectuals. The idea of the story is great and classic Eco. But without a better cast, it just ended up a disappointing slog. Drat.

Si superas las primeras 250 paginas encontraras un libro espectacular.
