5.0

A beguiling, deceptive little book that had me wondering what the hell was happening for the first two thirds than wondering why on earth we're not talking about this book continuously for the remainder.  It's one that's gonna linger in the back of my mind for a long while, and holds more than a passing resemblance to Susanna Clarke's "Piranesi", another book that I absolutely loved, thought "Morel" predates it by many decades.
