The Name of the Rose - Umberto Eco

  A confession : I do not know what to write about this book and that is why this piece of writing (what i call a review and what some might call a note of filth) has taken so long to form its shape. To talk about the book, you might even take a lifetime to complete reading it. Complex, Dark and Thrilling. You may even get lost in the plot, unable to find out where its leading you, but at the end when you finally come out of it, you would feel that you have cracked the most complex labyrinth of all times. Yes, this book is a mystery. Combining the elements of semiotics, Umberto has done a brilliant job in playing around with biblical facts and theories, not to mention the philosophical flavour he creates within.
