    You reach a point in language studies where it all about listening, speaking, reading and writing. Easy Readers allow you to listen to the text, read what you have just listened to and clarify what you may not have understood. Excellent language learning tool!

    I really enjoyed the story, yet at the same time, I found it extremely sad. The story was condensed brilliantly by Giovanni, and so well written.
    I probably understood about 95% of the story, so it kept me captivated, and helped expand my vocabulary. I now need to see the movie!

    Enjoyable yet very sad story. Now I want to see the movie. I find what happened in Europe during World War II a fascinating subject. This book was a little challenging, but not impossible. I like to read things slightly above my level so I can improve my vocabulary.

    Just as he did with ‘La Dolce Vita’, Giovanni Galavotti does a great job of condensing a significant film into a satisfying bite-size read.

    This gut-wrenching picture has to be seen before the economy of the writing in the Easy Reader version can be fully appreciated. In ‘Le Italiane’ Roberto Gamberini has Anna Magnani say this about the scene where Pina (the character she plays in ‘Roma città aperta’) gets shot in the back by a German soldier: “Doveva durare di più, quella scena. Dovevo correre più a lungo. Poi sono caduta. E lì Roberto, Roberto Rossellini, ha fatto il miracolo, e ha reso quella caduta una delle scene più famose del cinema.” But would Magnani really have said it? There was no room for sentiment here; Pina got shot, she fell and she was dead. Hollywood would have had close ups, violins and last words. Rossellini knew better. So did Gavalotti.
    Bravo e grazie, Giovanni!

    I enjoyed the story, and the subject, found it easy to read, but wished there had been more of it.
    Perhaps I shall have to find the film, to watch.
