Book Reviews of Gomorrah
Book Review: fair
Summary: 3 Stars
This book i found fair. it does give some inside information about the mob in naples. however the wrtiting style isn't great. it did not drag me along wanting to finish this book yesterday! maybe it got lost in translation but i can not give it more than 3 stars which is already a lot.Book Review: gomorrah
Summary: 2 Stars
Interresting book about the criminal clans in Naples Italy. Fairly well written. The names are hard to follow which makes the book a somewhat hard read. If you like books about the Mafia you will enjoy this one.Book Review: lost in translation
Summary: 1 Stars
I was interested in the subject of the modern day mafia in Italy. Unfortunately, this book did not deliver. It is dense, hard to follow and gives no insight into the minds of the characters.Book Review: sodom and gommorha
Summary: 5 Stars
one of the most interesting , yet depressing books about italy.
as an ardent lover of this country I wonder what's the reason for such anachronistic behavior? Is it, that Italy never really got accustomed to democracy?
Book Review: unfortunately, this is JUST the top of the iceberg..
Summary: 5 Stars
I.T.A.L.I.A. = In This Area Law Is Absent
I'm italian.. I can tell you that we are full of laws, but they are meaningless, because against certain strong powers there is no defence in Italy.. in our parliament there are members that have committed crimes and that have been judged guilty, but nobody can touch them, and they happily rule.. Saviano has been able to reveal ONLY the top of the iceberg, that is how the criminal organizations work, but he will never be allowed to reveal the hidden part of the iceberg, that is how the Italian lobbies and politicians are linked to these criminals.. nobody is allowed to investigate here.
Sorry, but I cannot say more that this, because for now I still have to live in Italy.
