I'm Not Scared

Rating:
Summary: A modern day parable
Review: Told through the thoughts and views of a young boy, I'm Not Scared is a searing look at the struggles and truths of childhood morality, the formidable situations many children's parents force them to face, and the untimely death of childhood trust and safety. Jonathan Hunt has translated Niccolo Ammaniti's disturbing story beautifully, capturing the hard realities of desperate and self-righteous people along with the sinister and surreal atmosphere that slowly descends around Michele and his family. A difficult book to discuss without revealing plot lines and endings, Ammaniti has, in an unusual sense, written a compelling psychological thriller and has created a story that does not end with the printed page but within the reader's own imagination.

Summary: Amazing
Review: Too much information has already been given about the story, so i'll not give more.
I will just state that this is one of the most amazing, thrilling, beautiful novels that i have read in the past few years. Don't miss it.
