Original Gangster: The Real Life Story of One of America's most Notorious Drug Lords

It’s a Xmas gift looks okay.

Great read! Film more or less in line with the true story

Book arrived on time and,as it was a present, this was really important. The person i ordered it for also loved the book. No complaints.

Classic

It's ok. I saw the film first which made me want to read his book. Nothing like the film. And considering frank Lucas consulted on the film you'd think it would resemble the book. Denzel Washington must have given frank Lucas's ego a rocket ride. Very disappointed in the book.

One of the worst books I've ever read. Don't waste your money. An absolute rip off!

As many people have watched the movie, I also decided to read the book about the infamous Frank Lucas and I definitely really enjoyed reading his true story of his life vs the movie. While there definitely were a few disparities in the book vs the movie , I feel I enjoyed the book more so than the movie. Being on his own since he was a young kid forced him to grow up fast. As I don't want to give too much away, Frank was taken under the wing of Bumpy Johnson and being around him made him a shoe in to be his own boss for his empire in the heroin industry. He definitely lived a life of luxury until he was no longer able to after being found out by the feds. Definitely a must read. 5/5 stars.

More in depth story and a lot different than the movie. Very entertaining read. Recommend to anyone hooked the movie, you will like this better.

Bought this as a gift, the recipient loved it, said it was a great read

AWESOME BOOK!!

Very good book. Read it in three days. Very interesting.
