Review of 'The Prague Cemetery' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
While I like eco's writings, this book was very disturbing to me. Seeing the hate and discrimination that was prevalent in Europe, along with the parallels I see in today's society, really made me uncomfortable.
If that was the objective of the book, it succeeded incredibly well, but it doesn't make me happy.
