egiannakop's review against another edition

It was interesting to start reading this book as someone who enjoyed the movie, however, there are too many creepy/predatory sex scenes and references to sexual assault, definitely not my thing, left a bad taste in my mouth.

This book's enduring popularity is due entirely to the films. It is an example of when a work of cinema far exceeds the quality of its source material. Having said that, it's a fun work of pulp fiction and I loved it as a kid for the racy bits and violence. I read it far too young! I would not reread it or recommend it to anyone who didn't have a particular taste for seedy, extremely violent pulp gangster fiction.

This is a 1970s pulp gangster novel. Expect every single trigger warning imaginable, including a few you didn't necessarily expect! Proceed at your own risk.

“You cannot say 'no' to the people you love, not often. That's the secret. And then when you do, it has to sound like a 'yes'. Or you have to make them say 'no.' You have to take time and trouble.
