I was absolutely blown away by this novel. I didn't know what to expect going in because you cant' really talk about it without spoiling anything, something I have seen described by many people and you understand why when you read the book.

It's a straight forward, confusing and mysterious book. Again, read it and you will understand what I mean by that. All that can be really said is that this is about a man named Piranesi who lives in this house with infinite halls and meets with someone else twice a week...and that's all you can really say.

I implore you to try this book and you will not be dissapointed.
