Title: Wish I'd paid more attention to the reviews
Product review: I was actually enjoying this book until I reached the end. Then I was mad that I'd spent time reading it. The ending just does not fit the build up, and is a major let down.There appeared to be excellent research into the the historical time period. The swiftly changing political structure was presented in a manner that fit the story and provided the reader a framework to understand how certain books were seen as dangerous, politically threatening or valuable assets. However, the mysterious quest that the "hero" goes on ends up being laughable. It seemed to be used more for the author to demonstrate his understanding of the political structure of the times.I would recommned "The Name of the Rose" instead of this book. It is a far superior read.
