Review of 'Il nome della rosa' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Onestamente non sono riuscito a capire perché mai tutta quella gente l'abbia comprato (letto non ci giurerei :-) ).
Detto questo, io l'ho trovato favoloso, perché me lo sono letto a vari livelli contemporaneamente... e mi sono divertito col finto latino di Adso.
