Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
As the 1992 presidential elections approach, the Prizzi clan gets ambitious. "Condon's ear for dialogue has never been keener, and this razor-sharp satire on the American dream is the most cynical and entertaining view of U.S. politics and business since S. J. Perelman," commended PW.

From Library Journal
Good news! The Prizzis are back! Don Corrado still runs the family. Maerose is married at last, after a 19-year courtship, and she runs husband Charley, the family's enforcer/CEO. The Prizzis are cleaning up their act; they have moved off the streets and into the "franchise" business. They offer better operations manuals than MacDonald's, with instruction on how to run everything from slots and drugs to their new line in "convenience orgy opportunities." Charley has changed his nose and his nameto Charles Macy Bartonand walks and talks like a young George Bush. In his third novel about mobdom's family of human sharks, Condon attacks America's sacred cows and serves up unforgettable characters and madcap antics. Mario Puzo, eat your heart out. David Keymer, SUNY Coll. of Technology, Utica

Condon's Glory, Feb 19 2011
By M. English "Matt Rayner" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Prizzis Glory (Paperback)
Prophetic and insightful, Condon knew the name of the games. Never has there been such a history of the Catholic Church as The Venerable Bead. The Manchurian Candidate was a precursor of the assassination of JFK and The Whisper of the Axe detailed 9/11 - in 1976. Prizzi's Glory, though, imho, is RC's masterpiece. I won't ruin it for you. Just do yourself the biggest favour imaginable and read it.I can only imagine that the other reviewer here has other views on Ronald Reagan than Mr Condon had.

oh, boy, does this book sucks !, July 26 2005
By Maciej K. "macmonjoa1" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Prizzis Glory (Hardcover)
I liked very much "Prizzi's Honor" (the book AND the movie) - but this is one of the worst books I ever red; the author really tried to be funny - and failed. At every page. Don't loose Your money buying it (it is NOT worth one penny+shipping) and don't waste Your time reading it, even if You get it for free
