Interessante reportage sulla Camorra, scritto da uno che ne sa e che ha vissuto in quei posti insanguinati. Consigliato, anche se ci vuole uno stomaco forte.

I don't know what I'll be thinking when I finish this but damn it's a really great read. Depressing shit; corruption is just poisonous to people. Good God.

About how criminals have embraced globalization and free market to always make more money, causing always more violence and damage to the environment. Also how the author sees it and lives it in his home region. Try it, despite the subject it's very easy to read, and fascinating.

very courageous of Mr Saviano to publish this, my props for risking his life to expose the mafia. it's incredible how much he's experienced. the book gave some good insights into the mafia in general and can be quite interesting, unfortunately sometimes one can't find a real red thread and it's very difficult to read (most of the time). it is very dry and honestly made me fall asleep during reading more often than anything else ever had. even in the middle of the day. if the book had like half the page count it would have been a 3 star review. overall it was good but because reading was a real menance i can't give it more than 2 stars. sorry Robbe...

Bloedstollend zou ik het niet noemen, maar het is wel een onthutsend relaas over hoe de Camorra in quasi elke industrie en leefdomein is verweven!

Aihe oli huippukiinnostava ja kirjailijalla omalaatuisen kiehtova tapa käsitellä teemoja. Mutta kirja oli pitkälti nimilitanioita ja pitkäpiimäistä poukkoilua eri aiheiden välillä vähän löytämättä punaista lankaa. Itse tutkimuksellisesti tässä on varmasti nähty vaivaa, riskeerattu omaa hyvinvointia ja toisaalta myös osoitettu tietty lohduttomuuskin koko Italian mafiamaailmasta. Sikäli siis vaikuttavakin kirja, mutta toteutus ei vienyt allekirjoittanutta mukaansa kuten toivoin.
