Oy vey! Absolutamente entrañable. Quizá un tanto verboso para cierto tipo de lectores, pero me parece que la indagación psicológica de Nono y su historia está muy bien lograda, sin que esto deje de ser fiel a su naturaleza: la de una novela juvenil de aventuras.

La capacità che ha la penna di Grossman di toccare le giuste corde… nessun’altra. C’è un mondo dietro le sue parole. Fin ora, con i romanzi più maturi e “adulti” l’ho sempre intravisto, nascosto fra le righe. Qui vien fuori, dirompente, tutta la fantasia di David, in una storia di formazione adatta a qualsiasi età. Sono tornata bambina e ridiventata adulta nell’arco di 320 pagine.

Another brilliant David Grossman novel. This was sent to me by a friend's mother who lives in Jerusalem. Grossman had just been translated into English and she thought I might enjoy his work. It was one of the best book recommendations I've had in years. Since, I've been making my way through all of Grossman's work. He's become much easier to find in the US, thanks to Picador reprinting much of his work in 2003/2004.
