This is THE book. A very interesting plot that could make you sit down for hours just to understand what is this all about. At first, I felt a little bit lost, I didn't understand what happened here. It felt like I was in a labyrinth. or maybe, I was. I become one with Piranesi, the character, who had been lived for years in the labyrinth that he refered as "The House". His journals raised the curiosity inside me and there were a lot of questions popped up when I read this book. A little twist that very amusing and rarely found probably the one thing that i lived the most. The sensation when you connected the dots at the end after went through a long journey is definitely unbeatable. This is the book that i would love to feel the sensation to read it for the first time again. The writing style of the story is to the point and made it easy for us to understand the complicated plot in here.
