*read this is honor of the 100th anniversary of Pasolini's birth*
Probably the most accurate portrait of life in Rome after the second WW. Everything is so distinctive in this novel: the characters, the writing style, the setting.
Every chapter of the novel narrates an episode of the teenage years of the prothagonist's life while he's dealing with poverty, deliquency and other boys' gangs.
However some chapters are repetitive and boring and the use of dialects is sometimes confusing for the reader, but in the end a great reading.
