This was a confusing, unqiue story. It's a mystery for a very long time. A man, Piranesi, is roaming the halls of a very large space. It is filled with statues and birds and he will describe all of this for chapters upon chapters. But slowly, as he rambles, you will begin to notice clues. Those clues will stack until you start to make some connections and by then, the plot is really off and running and you just may spend the rest of the book trying to catch up.

So….I’m not really sure how to describe this book. It’s certainly….different. Yes, the writing is beautiful and descriptive, but I found that I had a difficult time actually explaining the plot when I was asked what it was about? The journal entries of a crazy-sounding man who has been living alone in a trans-dimensional labyrinth? Don’t get me wrong, it certainly held my interest, and I was very curious to see how it would all play out, and I almost gave it a 4-star review….but then the ending
