The plot of this book is quite compelling, and looking back it really is a book that leaves you with the impression of being intellectually substantial.The problem is that it is cripled by the authors preference for including all sorts of irrelevant details, and to be honest, at times it reads like he is just rambling on.But if that doesn't bother you, then go ahead an read it. Otherwise, read some authors who understand the beauty and power of simplicity (e.g. Hemmingway, Kawabata, Blixen), because Eco, if he does, is not displaying it in this book.
