Book Reviews of The Hoods

Book Review: The book isn't a patch on the movie.
Summary: 2 Stars

Sergio Leone's "Once Upon a Time in America" is one of the greatest gangster epics ever made. It's also based on this book which it took me six years to track down (a hugely impressive feat on the part of amazon.com). How a poorly written piece of cheap fiction like this managed to inspire one of the greatest works of modern cinema is way beyond me. Advice to other fans of the movie: your time will be much better spent locating the full-length, uncut version of the movie. And let me know when you find a copy.
