It"s a good idea but ..............
It got carried away with how clever it was, obscure became confusing and although I think the premise is good the execution rambled on and became convoluted eventually it lost me.

This has nothing to do with Italian
Would you try another book written by Anthony Metivier or narrated by Angelo Di Loreto?
No to first question . Possibly to second.
What was most disappointing about Anthony Metivier’s story?
I thought the book would have Italian vocabulary within it but it was all about improving memory and remembering vocabulary. Other than the occasional reference to 'learning Italian' this could be a book about memorising anything.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Narrator was good
You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?
No
Any additional comments?
If you are looking for Italian vocabulary, look elsewhere. The preview is replicated throughout the book. There is nothing more!

Simply Brilliant
How things change. Last I wrote a review it was for audible - now there are 3 categories - for audible.uk, audible.cam and amazon ..... why... i really do not want to click on 3 tabs to look at a book review - nor do I want to enter it 3 times.
C'mon audible - sort this out !!!
now for my review ....
THIS BOOK IS EXCELLENT
I recommend any language learner adopt these techiniques from Day 1. The concept of memory palaces is at last clearly explained and memory storage has completely bought me into this technique.
For the first time I can actually cement words in my memory. No longer will I ever have to say - I knew that but forgotten it - this technique really works and is so simple - and you never forget what you have learnt.
I now have 200 difficult words cemented in memory - the next step to take it to 1000 should be easy, When you consider we only use 2-3000 words for fluency I feel this technique is helping me get there.
I am not saying this is the best way to memorise words - but so far - for me it works .
