Finally, after all these years, I give this classic a try. I really love the movie and I am excited how much the two differ.

Listened to the audiobook (german), tried to read the book (in german), now I try it in english. Can't believe it is so bad because it started a whole new line of fantasy novels. I blame the translation for it. So we will see...

I don't really know what to say about that book. I had found it somewhere on the Internet and all I knew was that it had positive reviews. I grabed it in some store and started reading. The first half of the book I didn't know what to think of it. Sometimes it felt almost boring, following Piranesi through the endless halls of the house. In the second half it took up some speed. But not as much that got me excited about it. I think I had expected something else.

Piranesi is nothing and everything to the reader. "Understanding" it is to reflect on yourself. Read it and build your own judgement. I think it is worth it.

I didn't finished the book. I stopped reading about 1/3 in. Not because it is bad but because its more of a handbook and I just don't feel "entertained". Besides of that I am a GM since over 35 years now and I don't think I will learn many new things at this point. I definitely will come back to it but chapterwise.
