Title: Reality bites
Product review: Seen the film? Shocked? Now read the book for the real lowdown of life in Brazilian shantytowns.Shocked by scenes of young children being shot in the hand or foot (their choice) in the film. That's just the tip of the ice berg.Paulo Lins lived in 'cidade de deus' and he paints us a frighteningly clear picture of its reality. He has since received death threats for all the unwanted attention he has brought to the favela.A top read. Highly recommended.
