Three dull autobiographical stories in one book that set in World War 2 Italy. On their own, it is really boring. Especially if you are not familiar with the author's works and despise World War 2 nostalgia but if you are like me, who had read Cosmicomics and is familiar with the author, this could be an interesting overview of the author's life when he was a teenager where he was forced to join Mussolini's fascist org during World War 2.
But nonetheless, this is still a boring read. I struggled through this. Sorry, Italo baby.
