It's complicated, hard to explain really, but it made perfect sense to me. Although, honestly, it's a shitty book, don't let the first chapter fool ya. So I just been telling people the book's about a piece of art, 'cause when you're done reading it, you might not get that. And you know, good art is never about art anyway; it's always about something else. So the books not really about a pyramid. It's not a book anyone has to read either.
