The Crossroad
I have read all three of the Niccolo Ammaniti books and all three get five stars. The quality of the prose is magnificent considering they have been translated from Italian into English. I think The Crossroad is probably the best, but friends who have also read them have there particular favourite. The tension builds from the first chapter and the countless times you find yourself screaming at the characters not to do whatever they are doing is countless. This is real black comedy and as should be in this genre there are pretty few laughs and a lot of blood and gore. Don't forget the other two books he has written. Can't wait til Snr Ammaniti writes his next book.
