Re-reading, and much more instantly accessible than some Eco novels, and than I remember. Lighter, more light-hearted. Infinitely more fun than The Prague Cemetery, despite similar themes, and much easier going than The Name of the Rose or Foucault's Pendulum, both of which I love. More like The Island of the Day Before, only considerably tighter and better paced. A mid-ranking Eco. A good entrypoint to his stuff.
