It was actually 4.5 stars 
 I think this was one of the hardest books I have ever read in all the possible ways. But it was worth it all the way. 
 The plot was full of controversy, and the time chosen for the action to take place was so full of a different mentality. Because the year is 1327, right in the middle of the medieval age. 
 I really like the characters because they were peculiar crazy and everyone had something to hide. (view spoiler)[ Each murder was done by someone else or by themselves, which is truly blowing my mind and simply great. (hide spoiler)] From Guglielmo and Adso, who were the only ones you could actually trust, from Jorge, the blind monk (view spoiler)[ I knew he was behind everything, he was way too suspect! (hide spoiler)] to the persons who got killed and the monks who not actually tried, but succeeded in obstructing the resolving of the mystery. 
 Another thing I did like were the subplots, who truly placed the book in time and problems the papacy truly had, how they actually blamed people who were not actually guilty. And I also loved the introduction of the girl in the story, because it was a small big plot twist for Adso. Mainly because she made him sin. 
 I would truly recommend this book only to open-minded people who can take well fundamentalist problems and how laughter was thought to be the work of the devil and such things. 
 I did not like most of it the misogynist parts of the story, because the woman was seen as one of the arch enemies of the man who wants to find a good relationship with God and be virtuous. This was one of the reasons I can't give this book five stars. It left me with a really bitter taste, even though it was a reality for those times. 
 Another thing I couldn't stand were the HUGE amounts of latin I found in the story. At least once at two pages there must be at least some words in latin. It was truly disturbing for me, I don't know latin.
