This book cannot be read/understood by anyone. Pasolini is incredibly precise in painting the details of the lives of hungry young bandits who had to face the consequences of ww2. 
There’s no actual plot, so skip if you don’t enjoy that. 
I loved seeing life from such a different perspective for a few days while reading/listening to the book. 
Highly recommend reading about Pasolini/the social and historical contexts he wrote in aaand the preface or a good introduction to the book.
