Characters and Color of another Age,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Hoods (Hardcover)
If a book can be judged based upon the impact of remembrance through the years ,this is the book .I read this as a teenager many years ago and still can reminisce on the almost elegaic memory of "Noodles""Patsy" and the gang.When I saw"Once Upon a Time in America",the score captured perfectly the tone of loss and broken bonds.I searched all over and finally found it.

A terse, gangster tale,
By Ron Horowitz (Cin,OH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Hoods (Hardcover)
This book is the only one i've ever read with a narrative from a gangster.It's chock full of vice,circa teens and roaring twenties details and slang that i regard as pretty much priceless.I love the Sergio Leone epic, and the graceful violence and nostalgia, but i've come to regard the book and the film as two seperate entities. The book is not really much of an epic. It's the plainly stated tale of Jewish gangsters ( a rarity these days. I should know. I'm Jewish).And it's accessible for two reasons: For one,it's straightforward, but also, i think people, assuming this book ever gets back in print, will be fascinated by the anectdotes and episodes of violence.

Great Movie,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Hoods (Hardcover)
I have to admit the movie was better but the book was good. Dont listen to those other reviews saying how dumb this book is. This book is great and gives much more detail then the movie. It is different then movie but remember this book came out 30 years before the movie did. It gives you a lot more info on Cockeye and Pasty then the movie does. There are a lot of differences in the book but characters are the same.
