I’m so confused… I think I enjoyed the journey but I’ve not a clue of the entire plot or symbolism or anything having finished

I really enjoyed the style, it was quirky and different. I thought parts were very clever and interesting but I can’t really say clever because I no longer think I get it

It would be impossible for me to describe what this book is about, but it really doesn't matter because it's best if you don't know much about it going in. It has beautiful world-building, there is a building of suspense as you learn more in the story, and it will keep you thinking about the book long after it is done. Piranesi is the type of book that gets even better the more time that passes after you've finished the last page.
