A real eye-opener

"A feel-good mafia exposé? The author gives an insider's view of a monstrous system that is all the more disquieting because you're in there with him. Besides the titillation of so much blood and excess, what kept me reading was the intelligence and heart in the work. The tone sounds raw and cynical but it isn't without occasional touches of poetry and sentimentalism. The author never stayed in one mode long enough to get tiresome. I was shocked by what this book had to say. I don't know if I was convinced by the litany of the names and places or if I just sympathized with a good writer. His heart's in the right place. I hope it's still beating somewhere." --Bill (Louisville, KY)

What a ride!!

" You've got to read Gomorrah! It's a book written with passion and elegantly translated into English. But, reader beware, the subject matter is the stuff of nightmares. Page after page is filled with images of sweatshops, drug trafficking, murder--and the Camorra's reach into legitimate society. It's poison has insinuated itself into the very fabric of Neapolitan society and further--into the reaches of Europe, the U.S. and China. Saviano has done a great service to society by publishing this book. As a Neapolitan American two generations removed, I am indebted to the author for the courage he has shown in exposing the cancer afflicting the land of my ancestors. Grazie tanto, Saviano. Stay safe!" --Mary (Alexandria, VA)

I Could Not Put It Down!

Gomorrah is not a book I would buy or pick off the library shelf as this is not the type of book I read, but it was placed in my hands and I am very glad it was. Author, Roberto Saviano has a way with words that at times sound like poetry.
A dark nonfiction account of Naples organized crime system -I could not put it down!

A Walk on the Dark Side

It is not often that I render an audible gasp on the first page of a book. GOMORRAH is not for the gentle souls among us. It is raw, brutally descriptive, and at the same time very informative. I thoroughly enjoyed it and can say this book will haunt my thoughts for sometime to come. If you want to walk on the dark side this is your book. Fabulous !!!
