Gå med i LibraryThing för att få reda på om du skulle tycka om den här boken. Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. I stopped reading once I realized I had seen the movie. Entertaining and tightly scripted though. ( ) En ce moment, je n'arrête pas de lire des romans de gangsters, des comédies, plutôt. "Malavita" correspond à cette humeur, et je suis contente de mon choix: la famille "Blake", famille de gangster repenti (M. Blake), est relocalisée à Cholon-sur-Avre (fictif), dans le cadre de la protection de témoins. Du moins, c'est ce qui arrive quand on a fait coffrer le Parrain de tous les Parrains aux Etats-Unis. Leur installation en Normandie (depuis la côte d'Azur) ne se fait pas sans situations cocasses et événements qui s'enchaînent. La voix narrative correspond aux états d'âmes des personnages et rajoute à la charactérisation. Le style d'écriture est assez facile à lire, il y a de l'ironie et de l'humour, ce qui me plaît beaucoup. Comme j'ai habité à côté de l'Avre en Normandie pendant 4 ans, j'apprécie d'autant plus les références locales. Bref, je recommande la lecture de ce livre pour son humour et aussi pour se mettre de bonne humeur. Giovanni Manzoni is a New Jersey mob boss turned stool pigeon for the FBI. His testimony has been responsible for sending dozens of wise guys to jail, including the cap di tutti capos, Don Mimino, so naturally, there is a price on his head. It soon becomes apparent that he cannot safely live under the witness protection program in the United States, so his FBI handlers move him to France where we find him living in a small town in Normandy under the name of Fred Blake when the story opens. Fred is bored and turns to writing his memoirs with hilarious results. His wife is trying to find a place of meaning in the small community and the children are navigating the social structure at the local lycee. Meanwhile the FBI handlers are camped out across the street keeping an eye on all the neighbors and trying to keep Fred and his family alive. This is harder to do than one would think, and when, through a bizarre chain of events, Don Mimino figures out where they are living, it sets off a chain of events that leads to Mafia mayhem at its finest. This book is a quick, fun read on the order of Carl Hiassim and has been made into a movie called "The Family" starring Robert DeNiro (ho else now that Jame Gandofini is dead?). inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
The internationally bestselling novel originally published as Malavita--now the major motion picture The Family, starring Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Tommy Lee Jones, directed by Luc Besson, and produced by Martin Scorsese The Blakes are newcomers to a small town in Normandy. Fred is a historian researching the Allied landings, Maggie enjoys charity work, and their kids are looking forward to meeting other teenagers at the local lycée. Or so it seems. In fact, Fred is really Giovanni Manzoni, an ex-goodfella turned stool pigeon who's been relocated from New Jersey to France by the FBI's witness protection program. He's got a two-million-dollar bounty on his head, but he and his family can't help attracting attention (imagine the Sopranos in Normandy). And when imprisoned mobster Don Mimino gets wind of their location, it's Mafia mayhem à la Josh Bazell's Beat the Reaper, or like The Godfather as if written by Carl Hiaasen. Because while you can take the man out of the Mafia, you can't take the Mafia out of the man. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
