I liked it! It's a nice, short read for anyone who isn't in to Umberto Eco's longer works. An insightful piece of work, and a excellent piece from an author who was as brilliant then as he is now.

Couldn't really finish Baudolino. A lot of the narrative gets good at first, but then it becomes confusingly hard to tell what kind of story the narrative is telling. (I stopped on the first one or two- hundred pages). Overall, what I did read of the book was interesting, complex, and give the question of whether Baudolino, the hero of the story, is lying, or just is confusing the meaning of events throughout his life with his own feelings. The characters are as unique, as they are flawed, just like in the Name Of The Rose. The only thing negative was that the book should've been shorter.
