Badfellas


For those who liked the series The Sopranos, here is a short novel from Tonino Benacquista which takes us right back to the family atmosphere of this TV series. The author is a French-Italian writer and scenarist born in Choisy-le-Roi (France) in 1961, who wrote his first novel in 1985. Badfellas (Malavita in French), which was released in 2004, is funny and easy to read but very well written. In the French version of Amazon, its mark is 4 stars out of 5 (29 customer reviews). A book to read without delay, especially as a sequel was published in 2008, Malavita encore, not translated in French yet.

My mark: 3/4 (very good)
Mark of A: 3/4
Mark of N: 3/4
