This review is from: The Hoods (Library Binding)

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.

4.0�toiles sur 5 A terse, gangster tale, Mai 7 2001

Par	Ron Horowitz (Cin,OH) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: The Hoods (Library Binding)

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.

5.0�toiles sur 5 Great Movie, F�v 5 2000

This review is from: The Hoods (Library Binding)

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.

Sergio Leone's "Once Upon a Time in America" is one of the greatest gangster epics ever made. Read more
