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.

"The relationship between the hero of the book and his prostitute girlfriend was well written and entertaining. The absolute desperation and blind conviction of the main character gives the book some grit. All in all its a quick read but worth the time. "
— Sean (4 out of 5 stars)
" I Have just finished this novel. It is very surprising that this is the Same author of The Godfather. It is badly written with a bad story. very disappointing I do not recommend "
— stan, 1/8/2014" Fast paced, easy to read (except for the foreign terms) , I'm done with it. "

— Sean, 12/15/2013" A bit short and simple for Mario Puzo. Entertaining read anyway. Storyline is a bit familiar. Totally can emphatize with the main character. Many of the other characters could do with more development though. "
— Shea, 11/21/2013" Easy to read. Dark, post-WW2 revenge story that keeps the pages turning. "
— Zach, 11/19/2013" A short review: It has the pace of a classy thriller which is a plus. It is a short and significantly edited tale which is a minus. Translation makes it lame. Seems too dramatic at times. All n all don't buy this... borrow it and finish it in a read "
— Nikhar, 11/18/2013" it was alot better than I had expected, really glad I took the time to read this one. if you like spy type books or books that has a twist to it you will love it. "
— Luke, 11/12/2013" Despite the terrible writing and overly simplistic (and mostly predictable) plot, this was a fun read that I was able to blast through. Glad to see Puzo improved significantly with The Godfather. "
— Mo, 11/9/2013" It was good. But I was pretty bored at the beginning. "
— Karthik, 10/12/2013" Very good but too short. "
— Lynne, 7/18/2013" Nice Book... Holds you curious till the end.. Enjoyed Reading it. "
— Nagaraj, 6/9/2013" its nice but a bit adult "
— Kriti, 5/17/2013" A very edge-of-your-seat read! I absolutely LOVED this book!!! "
— Jennifer, 3/6/2013" Terrible! Exaggerated and uninteresting characters. A mixture of an inflated and insipid portrayal of an assassin type novel, a few failed attempts of the O. Henry twist, with a below average attempt of a historical fiction aspect. It was painful to get through. "
— Kelly, 1/28/2013" One of his lesser works,in terms of plot,storyline and character sketch, though the typical Puzo wordplay is a welcome touch.Don't pick it up if you're looking for a thrill akin to The Odessa File. "
— Sreyasi, 1/12/2013" I really like strong characterizations and Mario Puzo does it again (however, this is before the Godfather written under the name of Mario Cleri). It's a novel of innocence, war, and revenge. I really really liked it. "
— Mollyjr, 10/14/2012" The shortest book by the writer. It is really intense but the ending was a bit rushed, in my view. This is the only thing that stops me from rating it with 5 stars. "
— Branimir, 10/6/2012" I loved this book. It was interesting and truthful and shows even though people can try to atone for what they have done in their eventually it all comes back "
— Danielle, 8/5/2012" This one was written before the classic came along. Puzo really does a good job here, leaving out the fact that the end was somehow, predictable. The spine-chilling descriptions of violence are quite amazing, an indicator of what was to come next. "
— Ajinkya, 4/22/2012" A great book, by one of the best authors in 20th century. "
— Vasco, 11/16/2011" Utter crap don't read it. A complete waste of time :-) "
— Sudheer, 8/22/2011" a typical mario puzo story line, but still you cant resist mario.<br/>it doesn't leave an impression onto you , but if you like puzo's murder plots and diction , you won't mind spending time on it. "
