    Hi there, I am level B1 working to become B2, this book was perfect for my level.
    I really enjoyed it. In fact it is the second time i’ve read it but forgot to leave a review last time. I was able to enter into the roles of the women and felt the emotion, ha ha!
    I haven’t seen the film but the book has made me want to see it.
    p.s. will read it again.

    I saw the film years ago! Don’t really remember it and was a bit confused at the beginning of the book about who the different characters were. I love learning new vocabulary and enjoyed reading it. Looking forward to my next e book!

    This was another good ebook . At first, it was a little confusing for me and the friend I listen and read the books with. Neither of us knew anything about the film and we had no idea what was going on when the characters and situation just totally changed – twice! We were looking for a link between the stories and it just didn’t exist. I read afterwards that this film was a three-part film that really only existed to have Sophia Loren in it. There wasn’t supposed to be a link. It didn’t matter anyway. We were using our listening skills and then improved our vocab when we read it, which is why we were listening and reading it in the first place. Job done!

    Once again, a very useful and interesting book to read/listen, with some new vocabulary which is always good to have. A little challenging in parts, so the level is right for me. Once I have read the book, done the exercises, I then listen to the story all the way through, this time without the text. I have now started to watch the film (which is very challenging!) I do like this easy readers!
    Thanks to Daniel and his team.

    The easy readers are exactly what they say they are! Reading in Italian has been one of my sore points. and I found with the easy readers it was really easy to do! I haven’t finished yet, but I have a long train ride coming, and the ease of having the easy reader is one of the advantages I see in practicing the language on the go.
    Thank you so much!

    I had recently watched the film so the stories were not difficult to understand. I learned a lot of new vocabulary and have benefitted from listening to them a number of times.

    I am a senior student and in my fourth year at U3A. I enjoy the language but find the grammar tedious at times . I am now reading and enjoying the e books having just finished Ieri Oggi Domani . It was a challenge but an enjoyable one and I then watched the film. Could not follow the dialogue but understood what it was about. Reading books that are of interest is a great way to improve your Italian.

    I rather agreed with Jadwiga Jarvis above. I found the style quite irritating but it’s made me want to try the film.
    As for books generally, I loved La Via Francigena which presented a comfortable challenge and whose narrator I could really relate to.

    I never understood why the film ‘Oggi, Ieri, Domani’ won awards for the best foreign film ─ or for any kind of film for that matter. The script of each of the three stories is insubstantial and the supposed ‘light comedy’ aspect is so slight as to be non-existent. The film seems to be little more than a vehicle for showcasing the acting skills of Loren and Mastroianni, and even that is not entirely satisfactory: Loren is her usual, predictable, voluptuous self whether playing an impoverished, permanently-pregnant Neapolitan, a filthy rich Milanese or a Roman prostitute. Even her carefully applied eye makeup remains the same throughout.

    The author of this précis ─ having had so little of substance to get his teeth into ─ can’t be blamed for writing a mediocre tale. But I was a little miffed by the writing style which starts too many sentences with ‘E’; e.g. “E l’ufficiale: …” (A similar style was employed by the anonymous writer of ‘Accatone’.) It is as annoying as the use of “And I’m like …” so beloved of inarticulate teenagers. Or perhaps it is simply an Italian practice I am not familiar with.

    Nevertheless ─ and as always ─ this Easy Reader introduces new vocabulary and helps the reader immerse her/himself in the flow and nuances of the language. So keep reading! Easy Readers are a wonderful resource.

    Took me a bit longer to read this. A bit more difficult but thoroughly enjoyed it once I got “stuck in”.

    First of all, I found the book interesting to read. That is the most important criteria for me when reading any book – – including one in Italian. After reading the book, I was inspired to rent the film and because I had read the book, was able to follow quite well. The vocabulary and grammar utilized by the author was sophisticated, thus making the act of reading educational as well. I am an upper intermediate reader who tries to read all the available books on that level in the store. By the way, I also read and loved La Via Francigena so much I wanted to take the journey!

    l’e-book Ieri, oggi, domani era molto utile. Tuttavia eranno molto più nel film che nell’e-book quindi ero capace imparato molto volcabulario ascotando dal film. Perchè il film non ha sottotitoli che era un sfida, ma bene.

    Another great read from Daniel and his team. It has given me the encouragement to now watch the film when I return from Sicily this weekend. As always, there was plenty of vocabulary that I was already familiar with but equally there was plenty that I learnt with the help of the invaluable glossary. On to the next…

  14. Marjorie (verified owner)

    I find these Easy Readers helpful. I am not a confident Italian language student, but I was able to read a lot of the text using the glossary (and dictionary) for words I didn’t know. Then I watched the film on YouTube (it runs for just under 2 hours) . The film – like the Easy Reader – is in three parts. Three totally different stories which I watched at different times. Understanding much of the film dialogue was too difficult for me, but having read the text, I got the gist of what was happening. When I read the text again after watching the film, it made even more sense. This Easy Reader is a great study-aid and I can recommend it.

  15. Alison Wood

    I think these easy readers are really helpful. Having the more difficult vocabulary so convenient is a big plus and I think the level is just right. I chose this one because it’s a classic movie, which I hadn’t seen. I have since watched it, hoping that having read the summary I would be able to understand it without subtitles. It was way too difficult for me but I thought the easy reader was a good representation of the story.
