Summary: 4 Stars
The book City of God is a deposition on daily of a social sector ahead of the process of urbanization and the growth of the urban violence in Rio De Janeiro. The depositions that had been transformed into a romance (and to leave of it in film) didaticamente trace the different and possible exclusion and ways of the members of this Carioca community. The rotation of the man power in the traffic of drugs and the mortality of its members is impressive and is noticed clearly that the exploration gear leaves in the mount (slum quarter) the part poor, with the connivance of the policy and of investors until the cartels. Disputes of teritórios and the creation of walls "invisíveis" but deadly so that it crosses them in the sample as the absence of the public power and the diffidence with what still surplus of it does not leave choice ahead of "lei" of the violence. Impressive and involving this romance.
