Absolutely loved the character of Piranesi and attempting to imagine the world he is in. I found I finished it in a day so it must've had me hooked.
I got lost when it came to Laurence and who he was and bits to do with him.

Interesting story. Chibundu has a nice style of writing. Last 100 or so pages did seem to drag where i felt nothing was really happening- I ended up skimming quite a lot if it.
