May 23, Andrea rated it it was amazing Shelves: I received this book free through Goodreads First Reads. The first few chapters of this book just built the characters, and as I was reading them, I thought that I wasn't going to be able to really get into this book, but then wow, the book really gets going! It then becomes one of those books, that you stay up far later than you should so you can see what is going to happen next. Another thing about this book that was really good is that the ending is not at all predictable, as you read it you w I received this book free through Goodreads First Reads.

Nov 18, Cecile Sune rated it liked it Shelves: Inspired by the Red Brigade Brigate Rosse of the s, Fabio Cecconi, the leader of the group, hopes to start a revolution to protest against political corruption and the financial crisis in Italy.
Jack Erickson got the idea for the novel while snapping pictures at Stazione Centrale in Milan. His wife, along with his luggage and passport, were already on the train. This is the basis for Thirteen Days in Milan, a fast-paced and suspenseful story. In addition, the fact that it is told from different points of view the victim, her family, the police and the terrorist makes the novel more gripping and original. At times, the dialogues felt a bit stilted though.
In addition, Sylvia seemed more afraid of spiders than her captors, and I thought that her relationship with Fabio appeared very improbable. In spite of this, Thirteen days in Milan is a promising start for the series.

Thirteen Days in Milan - Milan Thriller Series Book 1
In the 70s and 80s the country was beset by attacks launched by the Red Brigades. In their most infamous incident, in , Red Brigade terrorists kidnapped a former Italian prime minister, Aldo Moro. After being held captive for 54 days Moro was killed. Sylvia de Matteo, self-absorbed daughter of an investment banker, is taken hostage in a terrorist attack in Milan's central train station.
Thrown into a va Italian Introspective The background of this book is Italy's history of domestic terrorism. Thrown into a van, beaten and then imprisoned in a filthy construction shed, she comes face to face with a harsh reality that will change her life forever. Sylvia is desperate to be released and surprisingly is given hope by a budding relationship with one of her captors. She experiences the desperation of the terrorists and the political corruption and economic stagnation of Italy that gives rise to their act of terrorism. The results of her epiphany play out in a surprising and compelling conclusion that leaves us with an appealing and sympathetic character very different from the indulgently immature character that opens the book.
Other powerful characters include Vera Pulvirenti, a former fashion model, whose career was destroyed in a motorcycle accident and who has descended into bitterness at her plight. This book will prove a rich reward for the thoughtful reader who is a student of history and the human condition May 31, Michael rated it it was ok Shelves: This book can easily be a movie. I don't mean that as a compliment.
It feels like the story is just an amalgamation of stereotypes and forced scenes to fill a quota of "people like this kind of stuff". Unbelievable at best, and the part where the investigating officer actually was in the other room from the kidnapped woman was definitely laughable to me.
Just like a movie I am writing this review a bit over a week after finishing it, so, after recalling what I re This book can easily be a movie. I am writing this review a bit over a week after finishing it, so, after recalling what I read, I'm dropping the rating down a star. It would be an alright movie worth a few scenes of tension, sex, and action.
