Review title: I am not smart, but smart enough to recognize a great book.
Product review: I am no literary genius and parts of Eco's books are difficult for me to get through, but the read was worth it. I rarely come away from reading historical novels with such a feeling of what it may have actually been like to live and think in the time it was written. Eco makes me want to learn more about the subject of his books and makes me really think about his characters minds. Each of his characters are vivid and their motivations give insight into the 14th century. How infrequent were bastions of rationalism like Brother William at the time of the novel? Eco leads me to believe that this novel could have actually happened and this makes it even more rewarding for me. Also the movie "The Name of the Rose" is excellent also.
