Piranesi: WINNER OF THE WOMEN'S PRIZE 2021

Está cargado de fantasía sobria, misterio, muy entretenido, pero ojo, está contado por medio de entradas del diario del protagonista. Lo recomiendo mucho.

A very captivating story, I couldn’t put it down! The writing is outstanding.

Leiam! Apenas leiam!É uma história muito original, mas que instiga conhecimentos prévios sobre outras obras. Mistura mitologia ao mesmo tempo em que brinca com nossos sensos, nos surpreendendo a todo instante.Sem dizer! O poder da autora, de criar cenários cujas imagens tornam-se reais, em nossas mentes.

One of the best books I've ever read - a fantasic work of imagination, but also very well written. Beware, though, it's very difficult to put down, and you'll really miss Piranasi's world when you've finished...If you're not into sc-fi, don't be put off by anyone telling you that's what this is (it is, but it's also so much more). It's just great story, vey well told.

I started this and completed it in one sitting. It starts off a bit too descriptive. But as I got familiar with the journaling style, it picked up the pace. The lead character is very well written. He is smart, resourceful, curious and a hard worker. He calls himself a scientist and enjoys observing, recording and analysing everything around him. He is also optimistic to a fault, but I found that charming.I'm ignoring other locations and characters in the book because I believe one should learn about them in the way the author envisioned. The book is short and is entirely made up of journal entries, which makes it a swift read. I enjoyed the ending quite a bit as it connects everything and answers all questions in a way that works in this universe.
