Product Description
With the intensity of a Jacobean tragedy, Casino unfolds its tale of a love triangle between a gambler, his wife, and his henchman amid the glittering, festering Babylon of Las Vegas. The film makes daring use of voice-over and rapidly shifting points of view and time frame, leaving conventional film language far behind.

Casino
Not a great mafia book – I found myself bored at some points.It really was a little boring at times. For a great mafia book, youcan not go wrong with the Godfather (the only decent Puzo book in my mind.)
THe 1st person format I think was a weakpoint in this book Rating: 2 / 5
I was really excited about reading this book. I was living in Vegas and working at a Caesars, so to read about the history and lore of the city was intriguing to me. Yet, this book was hard to finish, I had to force myself to read it. It did not captivate me and I did not care what became of the characters. It was less than enjoyable and I was greatly disappointed. I find the real life experience of living and working in Sin City to be much more fascinating than reading about it. Rating: 2 / 5
This book (like usual) is different from the movie Casino. This book is worth reading since this adds some more realism than the movie did. Another great mafia book by Pileggi and worth the price you paid for it. Great if you like the Italian mafia and Las Vegas. Rating: 5 / 5
I love the book, and know it is an older version. But the book was in very poor condition, with some kind of stuff all over every page. I guess I couldn’t expect much more from a rare book. Rating: 2 / 5
Book came in the time frame and in the condition specified. Rating: 5 / 5
