I really enjoyed the history and mystery aspects of this story, but there was too much theological discussion to keep my full attention.

Sace I read this book many years ago and felt the same. I wonder if I would have enjoyed the audiobook more. 1w
Deifio I hear Umberto Eco is really hard to read. I only ever watched the movie tbh 😅 1w
Daisey @Sace @Deifio It definitely wasn‘t an easy read. I enjoyed the audio, but it also allowed me to skim through some parts where I probably would have set a print book down for a while. 7d

Whew!21hours.This is the longest audiobook I‘ve had the patience to listen to.The book&film adaptation are masterpieces.There is so much to discover:scholasticism,the Catholic Church-heretics& the Inquisition,postmodernism,crime&historical novel.So many references to medieval and modern thinkers.The untranslated passages in Latin are a challenge when listening but the audio is a delight especially when Salvatore comes alive.Thanks @rwmg

After more than 10 years and two failed attempts, I finally finished this novel! It was worth the struggle to read through all the philosophical and theological discussions despite the slightly disappointing ending.
