The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco

4.0

Good lord this book was a trial. After several false starts and several breaks I finally finished this book. While this book was incredibly difficult for me to get focused on, I believe that is because it is just so immersive. The whole murder mystery was incredibly interesting and that story alone was enough for me to like it. However, the church history, the factions at odds with each other, and the various Heresies were all incredibly interesting to me.
