Piranesi is almost like a deluxe short story: the idea is concise with no frills, but allows you to sit in the moment for enough time to appreciate the story. The voice that Clarke uses for our protagonist makes the story easily readable, but also endearing. I don't know what else to say other than I enjoyed it. 250 pages usually don't go by that quickly! 8.5/10.
