Book Description

21 Nov 1994

When Reservoir Dogs burst upon the screen in 1992, it announced the arrival of one of the most charismatic and audacious voices in cinema today.

Reservoir Dogs is the story of a heist gone wrong, and how the group of outlaws concerned are subsequently undone in the course of their search for the enemy within.

Quentin Tarantino uses words like bullets and writes with a propulsive energy that is compellingly readable. As always with Tarantino, the style of the storytelling is restlessly inventive, showcasing not only his fine ear for frank and foul-mouthed dialogue but also his grasp of formal structure, comparable to that of the smartest crime novelists.

4.0 out of 5 stars Truely amazing 2 April 2001
Format:Paperback
This book is a ritual to the modern day legend that is the film Reservoir Dogs.It totaly reflects the films story-line and puts great emphasis on Quentin Tarentino's superea writing skill. The book is a novelised version to the film and is written in the most charesmatic way possibly. Not only a must for Tarentino's fans & the films fans but well worth a look by any one into a well written book.

Tarrintino's first screenplay may come as a shock for those who are unaware of his work and this book is no exception.It's fast and slick with Tarrintino personifying a humorous and cleverly realistic dialogue which keeps the book constantly moving.The plot revolves around a gang of thieves thrust into confusion as their heist goes dramaticly wrong.For the most part this book is set in a warehouse with the gang crumbling apart as every new situation brings a new problem,anger flares between them and they turn against each other.Much has been said about Tarrintino's use of violence and although the violence is never to far away it's the clever use of his characters that gives this book the edge over other so called 'crime novels'.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sharp, sassy gangster caper 8 May 2001
By "om3ga"
Format:Paperback
When Reservoir Dogs first came out, it was hailed by the critics as being a milestone in film production. And they were right. RD has all the elements of a good film; comedy, intelligent plot, groovy weapons and class acting. In a nut shell; buy this book!!
