Resenhas
Un libro que es mejor empezar sin saber nada y descubrir el mundo de Piranesi a medida que te lo va enseñando el mismo con las entradas de su diario.
Una maravilla de libro que explora muchos conceptos que me gustan pero que prefiero no detallar para mantener la sorpresa de su lectura.
Recomendadisimo.

One of my favorite books I read in 2023. I went into this book blindly; I'm glad that I did. There are a few aspects that I didn't like about the book. Mainly the ending. I thought it was strange to follow Piranesi in the world only for him to be saved by a cop in the end. This entire book felt like it was set in an alternative universe, so when I got to this part of the book I felt that I was taken out of the universe and the story that was being wrote didn't feel the same as when I started to book. Another thing I didn't like was the wordy explantations of the hallways. Once or twice would be fine, but I felt there was pages dedicated to describing nothing.
The thing that I loved about this book was the world that Piranesi lived in. I felt that I was also in this labyrinth. I also liked that a lot of the book is a mystery to us and Piranesi. Is the guy helping him good or bad? Is this his imagination or is the world real? Who are the bodies that he finds, and why are they there? Why is he the only one in this universe?
Overall, an enjoyable read and I will be recommending to my friends.… (mais)
