Been putting off my review of this one because I don‘t quite know what to say. It was good; I enjoyed it. Thought-provoking and left me wondering if I‘d missed some of the symbolism (no, actually - I‘m *sure* I missed some). I liked the idea of the strange world “Piranesi” inhabits and the book does a good job of contrasting the motives of the different characters who come to see him there.
Bookwomble I don't want to *spoiler* so haven't tagged it, but do you know the book that Piranasi references? 2w
CSeydel @Bookwomble I know the one that‘s in the epigraph, if that‘s the one you mean. There are a lot of references among the statues and so on, of course (edited) 2w
Bookwomble Yes, that's the one I was thinking of. I'd forgotten it was in the epigraph, so I'll hang up my deerstalker hat and put away my meerschaum pipe! 😄 2w

CSeydel @Bookwomble hahaha, well, even though it was in the epigraph, there were definitely some Easter eggs in the story that a reader might miss if she hadn‘t read that other book in, oh, 30 years or so. In fact, I pulled it out to re-read when I finished Piranesi! 2w
Lesliereadsalot Mostly illustrations and a beautiful cover. You can read it standing up in the bookstore. 2w
