Title: If you're studying vocabulary for the GRE read this book!
Review: Seriously. I was studying a box of 500 vocabulary flashcards in preparation for the GRE, and I swear Eco used that same box as he was writing this book. It really was good practice to go along with the studying, because I could actually see the words in context. Unfortunately that was one of the few redeeming qualities for this book in my opinion. This is only the second book I've read by Eco (the first being The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana), but I'm pretty sure it will be my last by him. There are too many good books out there to waste my time buying his books and feeding his ego.
Is the review positive or negative?
