"As God Commands" by Niccolo Ammaniti

This book was a quick read and tough to put down. I found that it followed parallel lives in an effective manner even if I didn't care for some of the outcomes. It also felt that many idioms or manners of speech didn't translate well but I take this to reflect more upon the translator than the author. The novel gave a very unique perspective of small town Italian life. I'm not looking for more work by this author but I enjoyed the light reading.
