“I had seen the movie, so the whole time I was reading this I imagined me (Adso) and William (Sean Connery) roaming about the grounds. It really is brilliant. The only other Eco I've read is Foucault's Pendulum, which I probably liked more. If I could go back I'd have not watched the movie first (as much as I like Connery =] )[br/][br/]Lots of interesting historical information about the Catholic Church. It's not too surprising that Eco could put so much detail, as he's studied much medieval Christendom. I enjoyed that he modernized some of the concepts and debates in the book, which made the whole thing easier to understand. Framed narratives are awesome. Lots of twists and turns.”
