Six Graves to Munich

By: Mario Puzo

Narrated by: Firdous Bamji

Two-time Academy Award® winner Mario Puzo is known around the world for his brilliant book The Godfather, widely considered the finest novel ever written about the Mafia. Two years before Puzo published that iconic work, he released Six Graves to Munich under the pseudonym Mario Cleri. During World War II, intelligence officer Michael Rogan lost everything —including his family—to brutal Nazi interrogators. Now 10 years have passed, and Michael is returning to Europe to exact his revenge.

Great revenge story set in post war Europe.

Well narrated, engaging, and
fast paced story of methodical vengeance set in post war Europe.

Revenge

This is all about revenge and is an interesting concept. If seven guys day after day tortured you, tortured and killed your wife, shot you in the back of the head while laughing at you and then thinking you were dead threw your body on a stack of bodies, could you sleep at night knowing they were enjoying life.

The main character who has a steel plate in his head and many medical problems, due to the torture he underwent, is more bothered by the humiliation he underwent then the actual torture or disfigurement of his body.

This was written by MP under a different name and before he became famous, so few people know about it. It is very well written, thought provoking, and keeps your attention. It is only five hours long, because that is how long it takes to tell the story (No fillers or unneeded material). There is blood and guts, but only as that is what is needed to tell the story. I recommend this book

A wonderful one

I may have to listen again some years soon.Twas a good book and story. Wonderful

Love Puzo and this book

I somehow missed this book when reading anything Puzo I could get my hands on. Happy to find this here, just reminded me why I love this author. If you haven't read (or listened to) Fortunate Pilgrim, I highly recommend seeking it out soon.

Meh

What did you like best about Six Graves to Munich? What did you like least?

I was looking for a good revenge story and this has some good revenge aspects. But I never really connected with the character.
