Beneath A Scarlet Sky

.

This book is rated quite highly on Goodreads, 4.4 stars, as of the date of this review. In my opinion, I personally feel that it is a 2 star book, maybe a 2.25 or 2.5, just an okay book. What I did like was this was a WWII historical novel, which centers more on Italy during the war, while most other books of this genre seem to focus on Poland or Germany or even France or England. But overall, the story which is based on truth, how much I don't exactly know, (there was a Pino Lella) is not all that engaging. It is also a very long book at over 500 pages and 17+ hours of listening tome if listened to at 1.0 speed. I feel that it is definitely overrated ; there are much better books out there that deal with WWII in an interesting manner, but this is the only one that I know of from an Italian perspective.
