"Scarface The Beginning"
by L.A. Banks



Scarface, aka Tony Montana, has held an iconic status in the American psyche ever since Al Pacino portrayed him in Oliver Stone's classic movie in 1983. The Cuban exile who became a bloody mobster has remained an enduring, controversial character, and Scarface: Book 1 provides a new glimpse into this tragic life. The first of two novels on Montana, Book 1 explores the gangster's life in Cuba, revealing the events that shaped the man who would later become Scarface. The book chronicles Montana's life in Castro's nightmarish regime explaining why — and how — he managed to escape the island and make his way in Florida. L. A. Banks's taut narration is incisive and heartfelt, and takes readers deep into the mind of one of America's most classic characters.

I understand that this book is supposed to come out this month.

Yeah.. I came across this book last month while doing some last minute Christmas shopping on Amazon. I tagged it and keep getting reminder emails about it. I didn't pre-order it though, because I can't find an actual release date.

I hope it is this month though!

Cool. I'll buy it.

Just to let you guys know,the publisher and author don't do "books" or "novels" they primarily do vampire comics and Illustrated books about vampires, so i don't know how good this is going to be.
Talk to you later

can you get it in a high street shop in the U.K like WHsmiths?

I got it off amazonabout a week ago for 6.99.

It isn't bad actually so far.

does anyone know the UK release date for this or is it already out?

It's already been released in the UK.

When you read the first half,Tony's philosfy on the difference between a whore, a wife and a prostitute is quite interesting.

This book is on my Xmas list along with about a hundred other ones

Has anyone read this book through yet? It'd be nice if someone could share a small review and opinion about to see if it's worth reading.

just read the book...i liked it..L.A Banks did a good job...its not mindblowingly fantastic but its a good read none the less...if your a true scarface fan you should enjoy it...its quite short though...i wanted it to dive deeper in some parts but overall a good read

I heard about this book.I desperately want to read it.

(SPOILERS)
I didnt like the fact that he got the scar from the prison brawl.It kinda wrecked it for me.

Well according to the original Scarface book, he got that scar from the husband of a woman that he was caught fooling around with. That's exactly why they put that line in the movie "Where'd you get that scar, eating p***y?"

Yeah see that is a much better version.I havent read the book as of yet.I will though one day.
