dianecarroll's review against another edition
4.0
Heavy read. Gave me insight into life in favelas - how it can be monotonous and dangerous, but mostly how residents are focused on just getting by and finding food for the day. Made me sad to think about how little has changed since this was published in the 60s.

It's really repetitive and boring. I feel awful saying that but I just can't continue it anymore.

“O Brasil precisa ser dirigido por uma pessoa que já passou fome. A fome também é professora.” (p. 29)
chaledelivros's review against another edition
Como avaliar um livro tão pessoal e tão profundo, visceral? Não existem palavras ou estrelas que possam descrever o retrato de uma catadora de papel que morou na favela, passou fome e fez de tudo parar sair daquela realidade e salvar seus filhos.
