A los dieciséis años se tienen pocas cosas: un cuerpo que provoca perplejidades, un espejo, un diario... Y muchas ganas de experimentar el amor con la nostalgia de lo nunca probado. Los cien golpes es el relato estremecedor de una iniciación erótica en las profundidades de la sexofóbica Sicilia.

Un menos que mediocre libro con una efectista y efectiva campaña de marketing. ( )

Beh, ci sarebbero MOLTE cose da dire, ma dirò solamente che l'ho letto quando avevo 17/18 anni e l'ho considerato un libro umoristico.. è decisamente uno dei libri che non riprenderò più in mano. ( )

Libros que me avergüenzo de haber leído, capítulo I. ( )

I found this ok to read, but not as candy-flossy as I'd expected. Not really candy-flossy at all, actually. Its supposedly the diary of a real teenage girl from Italy who goes through a period of sleeping with lots of different people, not in the best situations, because she's got a strange view of herself, relationships & the need to be loved. I say its supposed to be the diary of a real girl, because I'm not entirely convinced. I don't know of anyone who wrote or thought that way between the ages of 14-16, or could write such detailed accounts in a diary. The situations seemed a little too staged, & all the people she retells conversations with all seem to speak in the same way she does. There is probably a grain of truth behind it all, but to me it is a fictionalised account to a greater extent than is implied. But that doesn't detract from the book at all. The writing is really very good, even if she does have a tendency to string too many adjectives together. The sleazy content of it isn't used as a quick way to grab attention, because the writing & thoughts that come with the situations are educated & insightful. Its not a book I'd read again, but it was a good read for the little effort it took to get through. ( )
