About this listen
The basis for the cult-classic film The Warriors chronicles one New York City gang's nocturnal journey through the seedy, dangerous subways and city streets of the 1960s. Every gang in the city meets on a sweltering July 4 night in a Bronx park for a peace rally. The crowd of miscreants turns violent after a prominent gang leader is killed and chaos prevails over the attempt at order. The Warriors follows the Dominators trying to make their way back to their home territory without being killed. The police are prowling the city in search of anyone involved in the mayhem.
An exhilarating novel that examines New York City teenagers left behind by society, who form identity and personal strength through their affiliation with their "family", The Warriors weaves together social commentary with ancient legends for a classic coming-of-age tale.

Private eye Eddie Valiant doesn't like Toons - those cartoon characters who live side-by-side with humans. But Eddie will work for a Toon if his cash supply is low enough. So he reluctantly agrees when Roger Rabbit, a Toon who plays straight man (or should that be straight rabbit) in the Baby Herman cartoon series, asks him to find out who's been trying - unsuccessfully - to buy his contract from the DeGreasy Brothers syndicate. Then Rocco DeGreasy is murdered - and Roger is the prime suspect!

Rusty-James wants to be just like his big brother, the Motorcycle Boy. He wants to be the toughest streetfighter on this side of the city, to keep his cool when things get dangerous, and to laugh when gang members challenge him to fight. Rusty-James isn't book-smart; he depends on his fists more often than his brains. So far, the Motorcycle Boy has bailed him out when his fists have gotten him into trouble.

Story
With its brilliant and brutal portrayal of the Corleone family, The Godfather burned its way into our national consciousness. This unforgettable saga of crime and corruption, passion and loyalty continues to stand the test of time, as the definitive novel of the Mafia underworld. A #1 New York Times bestseller in 1969, Mario Puzo's epic was turned into the incomparable film of the same name, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture. It is the original classic that has been often imitated, but never matched.

You might want to change yours. You may not want to know about the things you'll read on these pages, about the sauce, about Korrok, about the invasion, and the future. But it's too late. You touched the book. You're in the game. You're under the eye. The only defense is knowledge. You need to read this book, to the end. Even the part with the bratwurst. Why?

I enjoyed it as much as the movie
I knew it would not be like exactly like the movie, but I enjoyed it just as much. I came into it considering it a unique story, enjoyed parts that matched the movie, and then realized how much more interesting the parts that didn't match were.

Gritty and disturbing
If you think this is the movie then don’t bother. This book is a social commentary on the violence of youth culture of the time. It’s disturbing and highlights urban squalor; along with the brutal nature of how some people’s lives are. This book is great for what it is.

I have seen the movie more times than I can count.
Although I have been obsessed with the movie for nearly two decades now I still found the book to be very good. The language in the book is hard to identify with of course because it’s based off of gangs from the 50’s, but the different storylines and outcomes compared to the movie makes you keep on reading to find out this version of the story. Any true Warriors fan should read this book and appreciate where it all began.
The afterwords from Sol Yurick was a great insight into the world of adaptations and the vast difference between an author’s vision of a story and a director’s.

Social Commentary Ahead of It's Time!
As a big fan of the movie, I initially gravitated to the novel expecting a very similar story (as I assume most people in my generation did). However, I was quite pleasantly surprised to be taken on a thoughtful and entertaining story that leaves the reader/listener plenty to think about. I love ancient Greek stories and myths and learned about Xenophone's story in college, years after I watched the movie and before I read the book. The novel is obviously a different entity and should be respected as such. The essence of this story is timeless: rites of passage for young men, social hierarchy and oppression, poverty and hopelessness. Would recommend if you're socially conscious.

I’d rather the book be the actual movie
This book is 100 times more entertaining than the movie. Narrator could really paint a picture, The story to me is relatable, and more realistic to than the movie. Personally I’m all in for a good gang novel or movie but I’d rather it be dark and gritty not over the top Hollywood stuff and battle heavy nonsense. Regarding the murder/Rumble in the book that dose happen in street gang life it’s brutal, bloody and a little fun depending on who you were. The “Gang Rape” in the story is also accurate but not as violent as it really is unfortunately in real life.
Overall this book is a detailed view on the 1960’s juvenile delinquency of the era and honestly entertaining don’t know where people got calling it smut from. Strangely I don’t see a Clockwork Orange getting that scorn “smut”? It’s not that’s just life and the world we live in
