Book Reviews of The Warriors
Book Review: Overhyped Yawn
Summary: 1 Stars
A boring piece of tripe. As is often the case with "cult" novels, the fanboys grossly overrate them, skew the composite, and fool people into buying them. The cheap graphics of the book cover are indicative of what's inside. To say the movie was better, much better, is an understatement. The novel only survives in print because of the movie -- that's why I bought it. I suppose the book was controversial in the early 1960s because of its amoral tone and four lettered language -- and the controversy sold the book. If THE WARRIORS was first published today, it wouldn't sell a 100 copies. A lame plot line, unsympathetic characters, very little action, and a fizzle at the end. What a disappointment!Book Review: The Warriors - Brutal Violent an R rated MUST READ!
Summary: 5 Stars
So I bought the game for ps2 having never heard of it but thinking 'this looks good'
Anything 70s cult or camp appeals to me.
Then I bought the movie, then I found out there was a book!
The movie is one of my all time favourite movies AND games.
The book is the origin of its idea.
The book is violent, brutal, filled with rape and extreme ultra violent crimes. The 'coney island dominators' (name the Warriors in the movie)
are ruthless.
I recommend this book to ANY fan of the movie.
Warning = extremely violent. Extremely hard to put down!

Summary: 5 Stars
if youve seen the movie, youll probably have mixed feelings on this book. it is similar to the movie in some ways but also very different. the book is about a gang of kids that find themseves far away from thier home "turf". then have to fight thier way back across the city. the book is quite voilent as there is a pretty bad rape scene in it.Book Review: the warriors
Summary: 5 Stars
cool book quite different from the film..and as a fan wasnt expecting it.charachters in the book put a relatively new twist on my perception of it both film and book.
good though.
