A review by ahmadmtera
Numero Zero by Umberto Eco
4.0
The book is well written, and the story is interesting. It starts off with Colonna—who graduated from college, but didn't feel like he's done something— complaining about the water tap not working in his house. Braggadocio—who used to work for a previous magazine—let's say, disappeared from the story, and I guess you can figure out how yourself.
The story goes about a team of editors who work on a newspaper called Domani—which means 'Tomorrow' in English—a newspaper that brings the truth to its readers. The newspaper is not supposed to reach the public though.
Vimercate is the one who's in charge of financing the supposed newspaper. His intensions aren't necessary to bring the truth to the public, but would perhaps do so if his plan didn't work. His real intension is to put pressure on politicions and to force them to give him what he wants in accordance to not publish the newspaper to the public.
I like how the book contains many quotes. It ends with Umberto saying "(as Scarlett O'Hara said, another quote, I know, but I've stopped talking myself and have let others take over), tomorrow is another day".
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes mystery. Reading it was lots of fun and I think you'd enjoy it.
