Quella che racconto egrave; una storia di resilienza; la storia di Isacco; un personaggio inusuale ma non per questo raro; costretto a vivere una doppia vita: una ordinaria e una trasgressiva; per trovare un ordine mentale in una inconfessabile vicenda che lo ha reso il protagonista. Il padre tante cose ha fatto; di sicuro non lrsquo;educatore.Ha fatto proprio il detto Zen: se lungo il percorso trovi un ostacolo; fa che lrsquo;ostacolo diventi il tuo percorso!Lrsquo;ostacolo incontrato si dimostra insormontabile. Non bastasse; a questo si aggiunge la necessitagrave; di rimediare a un ldquo;puzzle famigliarerdquo; da tutti iniziato; ma da tutti abbandonato. Nel ricomporlo mette in evidenza tutta una serie di miserie; non solo economiche; di una societagrave; contadina e rurale che in forme differenti ha ancora una sua attualitagrave;.La lettura spazia dalla descrizione di un mondo contadino oramai antico; alle incalzanti dinamiche psicologiche con cui il protagonista si trova a fare i conti; dove ha; come unica compagna; una profonda sofferenza.Tante volte una storia di altri; per il fatto che rasenti i limiti dellrsquo;umana sopportazione; rende piugrave; leggero il nostro quotidiano.

Its amazing to me how these guys think that their over-the-top ostentaciousness; the expensive jewelry; large houses; excess partying; and top of the line cars etc.; all purchased with unverifiable incomes would remain under the law enforcement radar forever. The wiretappings of the kingpins voices as well as the number of bodies attached to members of this crew were sure signs of pending disaster. This saga reminds me of HBOs "The Wire" except on a larger scale. Because of the number of characters and the depths of the events; this work must be made into a TV series or a 3-part movie at least to capture the totality of BMF. Overall; I give this an A+.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. ... but in my opinion the writing was not that great. The author switched topics and jumped from character ...By Rolanda FlammiaThe plot was fascinating but in my opinion the writing was not that great. The author switched topics and jumped from character to character so quickly throughout the book I had a hard time knowing who was who. She did not do a great job of dovetailing everything. I often found myself going back to previous chapters to find references to correlate everything. This is a gritty story and written in its rawest form would have been fine...but it seemed like the author was using big words just to use them. It was almost as she put more into the writing than the actual story- if that makes sense. I love a good book and this was such a great story to tell but the way it was told kept it from being the page turner it could have been if someone else had written it.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Reads Like a Law Order EpisodeBy KiwesMy jaw dropped throughout this book. I couldnt believe what I learned about Big Meech and his brother; Terry; and the BMF family. I was so engulfed in this story; it read like a good episode of Law Order; which Im a huge fan; and I could NOT put this book down. This book was appropriately named; The Rise and Fall; and I tell ya; when they fell; it was pretty damn hard. I hear now that Big Meech; from inside his prison walls; is planning to do a reality show. Thats pretty damn good to do; if the rumors are true. There are several entertainers tied to this mafia family; one being Young Jeezy. Learned a great many things about the cocaine world and trafficking. Its a shame these brothers didnt put that business savvy to proper legal use; but this was the life they chose; and so they have to live it. A great read! Caution: If you have a hard time following detailed drama shows; then you will be lost reading this book. It does tend to move all over the place; and you have to stay right there until the bitter end! [...]
