4.5 stars. I read this one in anticipation of watching the film adaptation. It shows the sudden coming-of-age of a young boy in late 70s Italy, and I really appreciated the way we're put into his head, and how he has to come to terms with evil acts committed not by witches and ogres, but his fellow human beings.
