Review:
"Ammaniti has cranked up the volume for his blistering new novel." (Independent)
"Every scene contains a twist." (Guardian)
"Brutal but effective." (The Times)
"Energy and danger spray off it like water from a choppy sea . . . Very hard to put down." (Daily Mail)
"One of Italy's brightest literary stars . . . Combines tense horror with the blackest comedy." (Observer)
"Ammaniti fills his scenes with such rich detail, humour and surprise that it is impossible not to be drawn in . . . A forceful portrait of contemporary Italy, providing a long overdue counterbalance to the romantic, tourism-drive portraits of the country. And yet, for all the harshness of his world, warmth bubbles up between the cracks." (Financial Times)
"Offers an artful interstiching of plots and cinematic, horror-dazed images, and Jonathan Hunt's translation is exemplary." (Observer)
"Undeniably gripping . . . Indeed, this is in a surprising way a love story." (Scotsman)
"A compulsively readable tragedy with a bleakly comic underbelly, as if the Kray twins' gang had been infiltrated by a couple of Marx brothers." (Sunday Herald)
"The Crossroads is a rollicking dark horror-comic, a gruelling piece of fun." (Independent)
