Reviews by readers

good

I bought this book as a gift for an american friend whose relatives are from Alcamo,Sicily and I did not read it. But I trusted the author, since I read "Naples 44" that I SIMPLY LOVED.

Travel writer or Mafia biographer?

When I read about this book and the author, I thought I would be reading another book telling about Sicily. Instead, I find that the author discusses the Mafia. He says nothing about the history of Sicily, places in Sicily or anything of interest. The entire book is about the Mafia. One time I thought he was going to talk about Sicilian customs and the people only to have him discuss the Mafia. Worst of all, the discussion had nothing to do with the custom he had started off with. He has nothing good to say about any of the towns and cities and, most of all, absolutely nothing good say about Sicily. I have read other people's comments on other books of his and I can't understand why they enjoy him so much. Most of his other books appear to be about the same subject, including his fiction works. Perhaps the title of this book should have been "In the Mafia."
