Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
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 endeavor at order. The Warriors follows the Dominators making 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. This edition includes a new introduction by the author.

So I bought the game for ps2 having never heard of it but thinking 'this looks good'
Anything 70s cult or camp appeals to me.
Then I bought the movie, then I found out there was a book!
The movie is one of my all time favourite movies AND games.
The book is the origin of its idea.
The book is violent, brutal, filled with rape and extreme ultra violent crimes. The 'coney island dominators' (name the Warriors in the movie)
are ruthless.
I recommend this book to ANY fan of the movie.
Warning = extremely violent. Extremely hard to put down!

This is a case of going overboard on detail. I found it stupid at times and boring. The characters had very little appeal to the reader, even though they are bad guys, sometimes you can still relate. The subway ride was drawn out and the final conclusion had no substance

if youve seen the movie, youll probably have mixed feelings on this book. it is similar to the movie in some ways but also very different. the book is about a gang of kids that find themseves far away from thier home "turf". then have to fight thier way back across the city. the book is quite voilent as there is a pretty bad rape scene in it.
