I don't get it. I am not looking forwards to reading the next book for this class. Ugh - Shakespeare was easier and more enjoyable

Yeah okay you just gotta trust this book. The world was so intriguing that it alone gave me energy to want to read more. And then you start noticing that things don't add up.
Seriously I wanted to tell at Piranesi so many times.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 63%.

You know when someone is telling a story that is supposed to be entertain and ends it with "you just had to be there" that's what this book feels like. I understand I should be rooting for them, I understand it should be enjoyable, but I'm just not there. I don't actually feel present in the novel in any way. Maybe it gets better? Maybe I'll try again another time? For now, I'm not going to read it.
