My thoughts on book "I'm not scared," by Niccolo Ammaniti ...

I must admit that I found this book confusing. It seemed as though we only had a sliver of information. However this quality made it a real page turner. What was going to be revealed? Will it all fit together?

I didn't have any preconceptions going into this novel. And that's how I love it. This afternoon I checked other reviews that confirmed my emotions.

I collect quotes for my sig file. When I read books I own, or those I have obtained via bookray, I copy the quotes into a Bookcrossing.com journal entry. I didn't have a system for keeping quotes from library books. In the middle of the night I had a harebrained idea to make a journal entry here for such books.

These are from "I'm not scared," by Niccolo Ammaniti, c. 2001 -- library book
