A review by seashelly
Gomorrah by Roberto Saviano

4.0

You have to find something that fuels the stomach of your soul in order to carry on. Christ, Buddha, civil commitment, ethics, Marxism, pride, anarchy, the fight against crime, cleanliness, persistent and everlasting rage, southernness. Something. Not a hook to hang on. More like a root, something underground and unassailable.

4.5? In the middle it really felt like names were being thrown out constantly without taking the time to make you fully understand their role.

Beautiful writing, though. I could start (and might actually do it) a quote journal just from this book.
