The searing novel on which the internationally acclaimed hit film was based,City of Godis a gritty, gorgeous tour de force from the Brazilian street. Cicade de Deus, the City of God, is one of Rio's most notorious slums. Yet it is also a place where samba rocks till dawn, where the women are the most beautiful on earth, and where one young man wants to escape his background and become a photographer.City of Godis a sprawling, magnificently told epic about gang life in Rio'sfavelas, based on years of research and Pualo Lins's firsthand experience growing up in Cicade de Deus. A book that gives voice to the dispossessed of multiethnic Brazil,City of Godwill earn Paulo Lins more well-deserved international acclaim.

Well I certainly have no way to ascertain that, first because I never went abroad, and even if I had I'm a virgin anyway.
oh damn this book is bad ass. I dunno if the people here will appreciate it though. they are kind of stuck up and need higher meaning and all that good stuff.
