An enjoyable romp. Reading this made me realize that I actually don’t know much about Italy’s part in WWII. I found the politics super interesting. I also loved the bits about fishing. 

Cenzo was pleasant enough to spend time with. Overall, a pleasing read, but for me, not in the level of Gorky Park.
