Book review written by Elliot Graves (Year 10, 2021)

Published in December 2020, Gangland is a non-fiction story following the most gripping crimes that have involved New Zealand. The book highlights the true extent of the underground drugs and crime world of New Zealand.

As Jared was and still is a crime journalist, he was able to be up and close with all the action. This enables him to create a collection of stories, all with perspectives from those involved in the case. The up close view of these epics makes you feel as if you’re fully involved with them.

This book really opens up a new glimpse to the fascinating world of crime and detectives. The exciting way Savage has created this masterpiece makes it a pain to finally finish.

Interesting for young adults, and old adults. These stories are exciting from start to finish.
