Summary: A well written perspective into the Giovanni lifestyle.
Comment: Justin Achilli obviously impressed a number of people with his writing as he was responisble for the development of Vampire: The Masquerade (3rd Edition). One of those he impressed is me. Clanbook: Giovanni is one of the better Clanbooks I have read, partly because of the information but mainly because if the insider's view that it portrays. Even though it has very few rules/systems updates for Necromancy and other such sought after items (now contained in Vampire:The Masquerade 3rd Edition)it contains enough story and roleplaying background to 'flesh out' the Giovanni Clan. Another suggested series of White Wolf books if interested in the Giovanni would be the Giovanni Chronicles, "The Last Supper", "Blood and Fire" and "The Sun Has Set".

Summary: The best Clanbook of them all, period.
Comment: Before this book came out, I didn't really care about the Giovanni.
Then I read it, and they have been my favourite clan ever since.
The book is organized like all other clanbooks, with sections on history, unlife in the clan, templates, etc. However, Justin Achilli avoids the mistakes found in previous "splatbooks" and produces a coherent work which adds an incredible depth to Clan Giovanni.
Just be warned, there is "language" and smut and gore in this book (in fact, I'd rate this baby as Black Dog material), but ironically, unlike most of the aforementioned Black Dog material, it *is* mature, because it serves a purpose.
The bottom line is, even if you've never been a fan of the Giovanni, give this book a try. Like me, you might end up loving these sick Italian bastards.

Summary: An excellent info source...
Comment: This is either a book you'll love or hate, and I LOVED it! I noticed that a few other reviewers rated this source poorly due to the "graphic content". Well that's what the Giovanni are all about, pure unadulterated EVIL. This book contains little mini-stories, just like any other White Wolf book, and just like in all their other books the stories are related to the info and statistics contained within, and as previously stated the Giovanni are PURE EVIL, so of course the stories aren't pretty. Besides, doesn't it say "Games for mature minds" on all White Wolf books? Of course this isn't a book you'd want a little kid to read (or even a your teenager for that matter) but the game in general is not intended for young audiences. Bottom line is, if you're a storyteller that wants to include Giovanni in your campaign, or justs want more backgroud info about the World of Darkness, then this book is for you. If you want to play a Giovanni, then most diffinetly READ THIS BOOK, you've gotta realize what kind of clan you're going to be involved with, and how challenging of a roleplaying experience it will be. However if there are young role players in your group or your house hold, then for the love of god put it someplace safe, so that you can use it for a reference, but they won't be able to browse through it (I find it had to think of many things that could warp a young child more than a story about the making of a snuff film). Or...if you're just squemish or easily offended, perhaps a copy of the Salubri handbook would be a better choice for you ;)
