A good book, with a unique story. wasn't really my thing. very quick after i got about 1/2 way through.
Great Prose and Characters.
CharactersPiranesi is a great character, the rest we barely see, but Piranesi is definitely super crazy. Living in a world of abstract where ideas are represented. But I've never met anyone in my entire life who writes journals the way he does, even before he goes crazy.AtmosphereElegent descriptions with emotional resonance make me feel like I'm really there or that I can easily imagine seeing what is there. Between the light fluffiness of the House or the way she writes his interactions with the other characters. WritingGreat writing, but it was overly descriptive to me. Makes sense in the story. Very interesting to write everything as journal entries. Which was well done.PlotThe plot is limited. Piranesi is investigating the house for the Other. 16 comes and rescues him. We are left wondering what is going on through part 3-4. I prefer to have a bit more of a direction earlier. The leisurely pace is definitely consistent with the story being toldInvestmentThe start of the story put me off a little bit, because I felt no connection to Piranesi. I'm not much for art and that's what the first first 2 parts felt like. Like I was stuck in an art lecture. After I was able to start piecing the picture together of what happened, I started to fell more invested in what was happening.LogicThe logic was consistent internally, but I have to wonder about how long Piranesi was in there before he went crazy.EnjoymentOverall I enjoyed this book. Probably not worth a reread, but a good idea that was turned into a good book.
