I personally had a tough time with this book because I’m a classicist and know too much about Pompeii. All I could think about were the many ways the main character would have died doing what he did in the book.

Thank you for your perspective. I had one moment when what the main character did broke immersion for me, and I'm like yeah no you would be dead doing that. But I got back into the story. It isn't the best book ever, but a lot of it was fascinating.
