If you are tired of complicated books and boring grammar lessons, then there is an alternative for you.
In this book you can find 15 easy-to-read, captivating and fun stories that will allow you to expand your vocabulary and give you the tools to learn fast the Italian language.
This book will allow you:

How to use this book to learn Italian fast:
To get the most out of every story, we suggest this approach:
- Read the story in Italian: focus on trying to understand the main ideas of the story (the characters, the major plot developments and the setting).
- Read it again carefully: highlight unknown words or grammatical constructions that are unfamiliar to you. Once you finish this read, translate all the unfamiliar words and phrases (the Vocabulary Glossary can help you!) and write them down in a notebook to help you remember them later.
- Read the English version to understand the story one final time: this allows you to understand the text fully and have quick access to the translations.

I have two main critisms.
The first is that the stories are a really dull. There seems to be a lot of talk about hair colour, eye colour and geography. They are still very valuable but a bit more creativity would make them more engaging and certainly more fun. At times it just sounds like the narrator is reading a Wikipedia page about some geographical or historical subject.
The second point is that most of the stories are too long. Maybe it's because they are dull but it seems to take a long time to get to the end before you can hear a translation. For an audio book of this kind I'd recommend shorter stories or breaking the stories into multiple parts.
Nevertheless, I think I recommend this book.
At last! A decent Italian book
