I really enjoyed this book! I liked how the book compared the two men and showed how the Elder influenced the Younger. The only reason it's not a full four stars is the non-linear structure made it a little confusing (the timeline at the back came in handy a fair few times) otherwise it's written really well and is insanely well researched and in depth. I enjoyed sections about how they influence people of their future especially the Mary & Percy Shelley, it felt like a window into what the Pliny's legacies would become and who they would influence.
It read almost like fiction in style with the jumping timelines feeling like memories etc.
