This was okay, although it's difficult to ignore all the racism and misogyny. I really hated the beginning, the first 100 pages or so were really slow and I wasn't sure what was going on, but it got more interesting - at times even enjoyable - later on. I don't think I've ever read a book set in my city before this, it's always fun to hear street names and actually know where they are. I liked the ending a lot.

Che sorpresa!
È amarissimo, però fa anche ridere!

Riparandosi dietro la testa si Stalin insieme all'altro cacciatore di souvenir, la prima e unica cosa a cui riuscì a pensare mentre i proiettili mandavano in frantumi le vetrine e spezzavano i rami degli alberi, fu quanta voglia di vivere avesse. Non si era mai reso conto di quanto quel desiderio fosse sconfinato e assoluto, grande non meno dell'universo, né che avrevve fatto qualsiasi cosa, ma veramente qualsiasi cosa, pur di vivere, magari soltanto qualche secondo in più.
