Reviews

A #1 bestseller in Italy

"Immensely engaging . . . Both tender and emotionally arresting, Ammaniti's novel is unforgettable." --"Publishers Weekly" (starred review)

"[Niccolo Ammaniti] elegizes adolescence fiercely and sympathetically. His 14-year-old hero, Lorenzo Cumi, is a great character, part Young Werther, part Kurt Cobain . . . ["Me and You"] is scary, lovely and at last a heartbreaker." --"Kirkus Review"

"[Ammaniti] writes with an unadorned style about moral predicaments of the young in small-town Italy . . . Lorenzo reminds an American reader of . . . other teenage misfits from Holden Caulfield to Colin in Alan Sillitoe's "Loneliness of a Long-Distance Runner"." --The Arts Fuse

"Italian author Niccolo Ammaniti does a lot in 160 pages, including surprise, humor, and frighten you--sometimes simultaneously." --Daily Candy

"Ammaniti's prose is nimble, perceptive and economical . . . There's a lot to love about this book--its reticent empathy, its delicate and pragmatic treatment of addiction, its remarkable use of restricted physical space." --Full Stop

""Me and You" takes a short time to read but offers a memorable experience in a mutual recognition of loneliness and grief." --Curled Up with a Good Book
