This book was a ride; there's a sense of beauty to it. Themes of loneliness, discovery, multiple selves, innocence, and the majesty of nature make it something special. The writing style and flow of Piranesi's thoughts are unique and sometimes unassumingly funny. There's a lot to reflect on, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
