Sinossi
Negli anni Venti, Armitage Trail si dedicò all'esplorazione della vita notturna di Chicago, aggirandosi con un amico per le sue strade più malfamate fino a quando non riuscì a stringere relazioni con i gruppi criminali locali. "Scarface" è il frutto di quell'esperienza durata per ben due anni. Molto più che una biografia dissimulata di Al Capone, il romanzo procede a ritmo battente in un'atmosfera abilmente ricostruita fatta di pallottole e relazioni pericolose, sale da biliardo e donne stupende, nel racconto a tinte forti dell'incredibile ascesa di un uomo dalla sconfinata ambizione. Un romanzo entrato nel mito che continua a ispirare il cinema: dopo le due storiche trasposizioni di Howard Hawks nel 1932 e Brian De Palma nel 1983, si annuncia una nuova versione cinematografica promossa dai fratelli Coen.

Recensioni
"She was the sort of girl that immediately and unconsciously made a young man ambitious for more intimate acquaintance and an old man regretful for his age." That would've been a fantastic opening for the book, but it came later... It actually opens with Tony, a young nobody, killing a gang leader fo Leggi tutto
Firstly, don't let yourself be lead by the cover! Brian de Palma's 1983 film starring (hot hot hot) Al Pacino has almost nothing to do with this novel. The book character Scarface ressembles a great deal more Al Capone's profile, a mobster building his empire by ilicit substances and alcohol during
It's important to go in knowing that this book inspired the movie but it isn't a recap of the movie. Scarface takes place during Prohibition. Tony Guarino is a young tough who falls in love (from a distance) with the girlfriend of a notorious mob leader. When he approaches her for a date she quickly Leggi tutto

The movie is one of my alltime favourites!
Almost endearing in how poorly written, paced and structured it is. It reads like fan fiction you might stumble onto in a corner of the Internet when searching for something completely unrelated. Tony's death, for example, takes up a grand total of one line - which I kind of love, to be honest. Someh Leggi tutto
Having not seen the film Scarface I can judge this novel on the story alone. I have to say I enjoyed Scarface, it is a gritty gangster drama which keeps the pages turning. Scarface follows the story of Tony Guarino, a small time gangster who becomes the head of a powerful criminal organisation. Afte Leggi tutto
The silliness of this book does not quite manage to rescue it from mediocrity. The Brian de Palma movie, based somewhat loosely on the book, (which is loosely based on the life of Al Capone) is much better.
