I love the pragmatism and succinctness of the advice in this book. However, the tone was somewhat irritating and it annoyed me that everyone in business in Jason and David's world is a man.
Can't remember a time where the second book in a series has been better than the first. The characters and interactions between them were so rich. I'm sure this book wouldn't have been as good without Ferrante's thoughtful setup in My Brilliant Friend.

I was so excited to read this book and perhaps I wasn't in the right headspace for it. I am in awe of what Umberto Eco put together and the plot gripped me enough that I was keen to finish it, but I often found myself tiring of the lengthy architectural descriptions or historical discussions between the monks. Maybe more appreciation/knowledge of 14th century monastic life and the Church would have been helpful.
