The strong plus of this Book is obviously Piranesi himself, who is one of the most precious characters I've met. I didn't want him to lose his Innocence and the Ending was bittersweet, which I love, but it ripped out my heart. The themes broached as we discover the House through Piranesi's eyes are beautiful and it comes down to the very important subjects of Humanity and Nature. The writing style is gorgeous as well and enhances the Story, even if it takes some getting used to (I loved the capitalized Letters).
It is a work of Art.
