At first I was very confused. I wasn't sure what the book would be about and despite reading the summary over and over again I couldn't set up any expectations. All I knew was that this was a highly praised work of fiction.
We started in the middle of the journey and little by little together with piranesi we uncovered the truth.
My favourite bit would be piranesi's identity and his view on it by the end of the book. I was mourning the person he was at the same time loving the person he is. I was upset with what had happened and felt powerless that there could be nothing done to change it. I, as a reader, together with piranesi had to accept the present and let go of the past.
And a book that has made me feel so much is definitely deserving of a 5/5.
