ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD

Original paperback quality, Good read if you're a Tarantino fan. This is the only fiction book that Tarantino has ever written

****Possible Spoilers*****The book about Rick Dalton, Clif Booth and Mirabella's story simply kills. When I watched the movie I knew it was an interwoven story that was not complete. I hear original cut of the movie was very long. I wished I could watch it somehow. But the releasing it as a bookiwas really a great idea.The book does 3 things in a great manner, it does explore more of Cliff Booth, it talks a lot about those 60'sTV shows and 60's Hollywood and until the last chapter the chemistry between Rick Dalton and Mirabella is taken to new heights.To me, I liked last chapter the best.Also, while book has some mention of movie incidents, the book is totally different.Loved it!!The vivid description of western tv shows made me wish he makes Bounty Law as his 10th movie or I will even be okay if he makes remake of Lancer!!!Tarantino starts his career a novelist with a bang!!

It feels like an extended version of the movie. A lot of additional things to explore, a lot of things that Tarentino changed the presentation for this novel, a lot of backstories and a lot of names of random actors that you probably don't know about.In other words I can say sometimes funny, sometimes suspense, sometimes boring and sometimes better than movie.

Tarantino is an auteur as a movie maker but he truly is an amazing writer first. I can’t wait for him to write more books or even write more books based on other movies. I would like more stuff on Hans Landa and what happened to Jules Ashe started to walk the earth

The quality of the book is really good! The writing is beautiful.Some chapters have been added in to the story which were not there in the original movie. A must read for all tarantino fans out there!

If you're a Tarantino nerd then you'll like it.

The binding was a bit broken on my piece. Rest of it is good.

I really enjoyed the film, particularly in the level of authenticity of the classic fake TV series shown in it. The novel expands much of that content in surprising and literate and incredibly detailed ways. What's most fun is that it's issued as an old-style trade paperback, the kind you'd buy at a drug store in the 70's. Perfect summer read.

Quentin Tarantino has made a novel from the screenplay of his Oscar winning movie ‘Once Upon A Time In Hollywood’ and it is, frankly, wonderful. It is such a good book everyone interested in film and cinema should buy it and read it. If I could give it 6 stars, I would.Novelisation has fallen out of fashion but what QT has done is a tad different: in the book-of-the-film we are showing the extensive back stories of the principal characters which Tarantino had already written before filming, like any good novelist would do *and* he gives a number of ‘lectures’ on the history of film. And you might think that ‘lecture’ would mean dull, plodding exposition and you’d be wrong. It is a total delight, erudite and profoundly understood (he probably wrote most of it from memory because he really is Mastermind Champion on movies, especially westerns).Since devouring this book I’ve found a YouTube interview between QT and a US television news channel; in it he lets the world know three things:1 he intends to do more novels based on his screenplays (I can’t wait to read Inglorius Basterds – the novel)2 he’s written a stage play but won’t say what about – given his terrific dialogue writing skills that’s going to be one to watch3 his movie-making career is likely to come to an end – he’s always said he’ll only make ten pictures and OUATIH was his ninth – afterwards he intends to become ‘a man of letters (his own words).The novel of OUATIH is covers the same general ground as the movie but with many extensions and expansions, and the scenes in a different order.Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) the stunt double for fading actor Rick Dalton (DiCaprio) gets the lion’s share of the novel and develops into a fascinating character study.Buy it.

Goes deeper than the movie. If you loved it, you'll really love this!

Great book! If you loved the movie, you'll also like the book.

Once upon a time...in Hollywood is One of my favourite movies and this book, about the movie and so much more that wasn't in the movie was very hard to put down. I was enthralled from page 1 right to the end.Quentin is a surprisingly gifted writer and his knack for storytelling is on great, bold, feathery display in this masterpiece.This holds much more character detail and none of the gory violence (excepting the death of Cliff's wife) that Quentin is known for.People call Once upon a time... In Hollywood Quentin's love letter to Hollywood, but they are mistaken... This is it. Every chapter is a work of art. Each character defined in such detail you'd think this art was graphical rather that literature.Quentin's knowledge and love of old Hollywood shines as bright as the sun in this novel, and leaves you with that old Hollywood feeling of happy satisfaction as the sun sets in the west.
