Title: The Wanderers by Richard Price ISBN: 0-395-97774-6 Publisher: Mariner Books Pub. Date: 15 April, 1999 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $13.00 |

Rating: 4
Summary: An engaging episodic read
Comment: Price has come a long way since this first novel, with an ensemble of protagonists. Or maybe it is the gang itself, The Wanderers, that is the hero here. The gang members are all textured--they have virtues, but serious flaws, too, and that makes them all the more appealing and believable. But at this point, long after the book was written, these guys all seem like Italian stereotypes. Try Roland Merullo for the real thing, Boston instead of the Bronx. And isn't the outcome a little too predictable? The gang can't last forever. We know it long before the end comes.
Rating: 3
Summary: Wandering down under
Comment: I felt this was a good book, but at times difficult to read. The flow of the book was not easy and I felt that some parts of the story where cut short. Still a good read, but I recommend you read the book first then watch the film. As the book is quite different to the film, you may not really appreciate the book if you read it after watching the film.
Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent
Comment: This is probably Price's best work ever. He effectively re-creates the atmosphere of early-1960's street gang life, populating it with a memorable cast of characters. All the elements are here - humor, tragedy, gritty realism, with an occasional touch of the truly bizarre. Most readers will find it impossible to read this novel only once; it is one of the few which deserves repeated readings. If you have seen the movie, read the book - it's even better. I know very little about Mr. Price, but he must have been a street kid; no one else could have told this story as effectively.
