The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco

5.0

Excellent book! It nicely combines several different genres while also combining plot with philosophy. The detective aspect of the book makes it a "cannot put down", while the philosophical undertones of perspective prevent it from feeling cheap or shallow. Though most of the theological history was relatively lost on me, I feel like this book has a little bit of everything that canplease all, much like a well stewed chili.
