Story
The compelling, inspiring (often comic) coming-of-age story of Trevor Noah, set during the twilight of apartheid and the tumultuous days of freedom that followed. One of the comedy world's brightest new voices, Trevor Noah is a light-footed but sharp-minded observer of the absurdities of politics, race and identity, sharing jokes and insights drawn from the wealth of experience acquired in his relatively young life.

Story
Pino Lella wants nothing to do with the war or the Nazis. He's a normal Italian teenager - obsessed with music, food, and girls - but his days of innocence are numbered. When his family home in Milan is destroyed by Allied bombs, Pino joins an underground railroad helping Jews escape over the Alps, and falls for Anna, a beautiful widow six years his senior. In an attempt to protect him, Pino's parents force him to enlist as a German soldier - a move they think will keep him out of combat.

I so wish this had not been abridged. Why do they do this? I want to hear the story as the author wrote it. :(
That was the only down point for me.
Narration - one of the best on audible that I've heard so far. Brilliant.
Story - great, twists, thought provoking. I love Harlan Coben.
Recommend if you enjoy Coben.

I enjoyed this trilogy. My biggest gripe is that it took a long time to get used to a female reading the male sections. Would have been MUCH better had a male read the male sections.
Story was good, got me in. A bit too much romance at times for me, but some people like that.
I'd recommend the three books as an easy listen with suspense.

Adam Price has a lot to lose: a comfortable marriage to a beautiful woman, two wonderful sons, and all the trappings of the American dream - a big house, a good job, a seemingly perfect life.
