I have finished about 90% of it and have loved and hated it in turns, much as I did The Red and The Black.
Loved it for its brilliant insights into human thoughtstream, almost as if they are running as a movie in front.
Hated it for so much focus on political intrigues and trickeries. To be honest, feels like he has not spent time on character development, other than Fabrizio. Rest all seem to have come readymade intriguer.
But overall, loved it!
