“Finishing this tome was a major feat in itself for me. Eco is definitely in a league of his own in his great command and knowledge of the medieval era. The story is not only about a series of murders in the abbey, but it also includes a close examination of the disparity of beliefs & interpretation of poverty between the "shepherds" within the church.
I think that this book is great for people who are interested in religious history & philosophy or if you are simply looking for a challenging read. It just wasn't for me. ”
