Summary: Good, but could've been better
Review: A clanbook I waited for for a long time. Unfortunatly it completely ignores previous references to the clan, and spends a lot of time making them as loathsome as the setites. Frankly I felt some of the content was over the top. However it has a lot of interesting info and a great take on what Enzo Giovanni is doing. Unfortunatly no reworking of Necromancy, and no Necromantic rituals that players have been crying out for.

Summary: The best Clanbook of them all, period.
Review: 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: Makes interesting a frigtening concept
Review: Considering the nature of the Giavonni, this book actually makes them somewhat attractive to play. It has it's share of disgusting descriptions(the front story for example) but that is part of the point.

Summary: Dark and deadly the necro's are revealed
Review: Evil personified.. These guys have made a habit of making nightmares come true. I really found this book disturbing but also enlightening. You want evil then read this book. Not only is the secrets of this Family revealed but what it has planed for all of Humanity as well. How often can you use another race of super naturals to do your bidding but you can use the full force of Vampires as well. A great read in very informative. All you ever wanted to know and more....

Summary: Family Affairs
Review: Finally we get the book that will tell the tale of the Necromancy Paths! If you, like many of us long-time Giovanni players wanted to understand what happened, this is the answer! A fine sourcebook to both players and storytellers, a must-have!

Summary: Hard to read, harder to stomach
Review: First of all, this sourcebook should have been identified as part of the "Black Dog" series ('Adult' rated White Wolf supplements), then I would have completely ignored it on the shelves. Written primarily in the voice of a stereotypical mafioso Giovanni, the book is worthless as it is vulgar. The only point of value I found in the whole thing was the information on the Endless Night (why the clan is so interested in the afterlife).

Summary: Superb
Review: First off, let me say the artwork was superb! Secondly let me say that if you are a bit squemish about VTM before reading this then perhaps you should not eat anything before you sit down with the Giovanni Clanbook. It definitely gives you an "in your face" insight into one of the more bizarre and secretive clans in the game. They could possibly be more dangerous than the Sabbat in the long run.

Summary: A well written perspective into the Giovanni lifestyle.
Review: 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".
