Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The worst book i have read in years.I thought this was a very long winded and boring book that seemed to go nowhere. It is only the second book i have been totally disgusted with in all my years of reading. Simply terrible. Rating:  - Horribly GrippingDon't be put off by the slow opening with Saviano exhaustively recounting the Camorra's grip on the retail clothing market, because soon the author's spell is cast. A litany of violence, corrruption and death ensues and Saviano's outrage is palpable. The ultimate sum of the book is despair tinged by rage - this is a must read for all true crime fans and students of contemporary Italian culture. Rating:  - COMPELLING READINGI have read this book in the original language a year ago and it is still quite clear in my mind. The courageous Roberto Saviano is a master in telling true stories , and this book gives you a powerful insight of the Neapolitan mafia and the wider implications for us all in an extremely readable & compelling manner. A MUST for anyone interested in Italy and Italian current affairs. Once you start reading it you cannot put it down! |
