anastasiaf 's review for:

Piranesi by Susanna Clarke
3.75
slow-paced

I’d actually give it a 3.85

Ugh I’m kind of confused on how I feel about this.

It took me a while to get through this, even as an audiobook. I think I restarted it 3 times and almost gave up at one point as I had no idea what was happening.

I enjoyed the twist, but like others was a bit annoyed it took the narrator so long to get it once it was so obvious.

Someone suggested that it would have been a good novella, and actually to that I would agree - it just didn’t need the lengthy descriptions of the halls when they ultimately had little intrinsic meaning.

I will give it a re-read some point soon as I feel that would give it a fair chance.
