My first impression after I finished reading this book was: Well, Hollywood did over action shit everything, even back then, when I thought they made good movies.

Anyway, my first book from Umberto Eco and I choose this one basically because I knew the movie. I really enjoyed it, but there are parts that need your 150% concentration or you will miss out parts and get lost in the rest of the page.

I am not giving it five stars because I thought there was a bit “umpf” missing. Really can't put my finger on it, but I just can't give it top marks.

Still, I loved it, and I am looking forward to read more books from him.
