review 1: I found this collection of essays to be less compelling than Saviano's account of the Naples mafia, Gomorrah. Some essays cover similar ground to that book describing aspects of organised crime and corruption. These were some of the more succesful chapters.I was less keen on the essays discussing literature as these contained an excessive amount of references to philosophers and felt as if they were aimed at a different audience entirely to the other parts of the book. Those lacking a PhD in literature and/or philosophy are likely to feel somewhat alienated by these sections.Worth a look but not a classic by any means.
review 2: Un po' deludente, rispetto a Gomorra. Una raccolta di scritti che sembra pi�� un'operazione editoriale che altro.Alcuni momenti
... more notevoli, come il discorso al Nobeled il susseguente dibattito a cui partecipa anche Rushdie, ma spesso si nota una certa ripetitivit�� degli argomenti nei vari scritti, il che non va a favore della godibilit�� del libro, che resta comunque di buon livello. less

Read, to be revisited, an education, an exploration, an adventure in the making.
