A review by tomleetang
The Prague Cemetery by Umberto Eco

4.0

Eco is always a complex read, and this book is more confusing than most for its wide expanse of European history, politics and subterfuge in the 19th century, as well as the unreliable narrations that attempt to lead you astray and fill the book with paranoia and uncertainty. Nevertheless I greatly enjoyed it as a thought-provoking novel - as I did The Name of the Rose. Just be prepared to look up a lot of esoteric info if you wish to understand the intricacies of the plot.
