I listened to this book almost entirely because Tom Hiddleston narrated it. It’s absolutely true that I will listen to anything that comes out of that man’s mouth! High Rise was a disturbing, very dark story. I felt compelled to listen to this story in the same way people feel compelled to look at a train wreck. I felt pulled into the absolute collapse and disaster that happened in the high rise, but I don’t think I actually enjoyed it?  Am thankful that the SA scenes were not described in detail.
