    This book is part prosaic, part documentary and part autobiographical, all about the camorra, i.e. the gigantic mafia-like criminal organisation residing mostly in Naples and the Campania region of Italy, yet reaching world-wide. Saviano's book somewhat, according to me, takes - just like Tomas Lappalainen's brilliant book "Maffia" is on the cosa nostra - on the huge task of trying to explain just how wide the grasp, cynical the depth and callous the thing that is referred to as the camorra really is, in simple terms. For instance, by describing his working in the docks, partaking in shipping exquisite fabrics later sown into the most exclusive Italian clothes by the very cheapest workers, Saviano displays the inner workings of the upper fashion industry. By following kids around in Secondigliano he learns more about how the camorra works than from reading any books. It's scary as hell, not fiction and it's really, really good and inventive investigative and fine authoritative work.
