The Real Dog Day Afternoon
Dog Day Afternoon, on the other hand, thanks to a beautifully constructed, splendidly written script by Frank Pierson and Sidney Lumet’s signature tendency to approach his themes and protagonists in a charmingly naturalistic way, simply throws you in front of the screen as if you’ve arrived late at the theater. The story of a desperate man. Start by marking “Dog Day Afternoon” as Want to Read. Hard to believe that this is a novelisation written from the script of the classic movie, starring Al Pacino.

This is a superb 1970s crime novel which--as far as I can make out--is a post-movie adaptation of a screenplay. But if any indication was needed as to how great it is--it is tightly associated (as I hope you realize) in one best American movies of that decade. DDA is legendary and this book is where it all started.
It is told in first-person POV from inside-the-mind of Sonny; the ex-Vietnam Vet, bisexual, overall screw-up (and later prison convict) after his would-be attempt at bank robbery. That..more

Littlejoe (Sonny in the movie) is one hell of a well-drawn character. Dialogue is superb throughout. This novel is substantially different from what we see in Sidney Lumet's film.. in a good way: there's a lot more backstory from Joe and Lana and the 'leather bars' where Joe likes to hang out.
But then everyone will miss John Cazale's Sal, as this character (Sam) is a whole other person in the book. Moretti and Baker (Sheldon) are more developed here, and even though both Lanas, the book's and t..more

Patrick Mann is the author and the pseudonym used by crime fiction author Leslie Waller when he novelized a screenplay, as is the case here. This was written after the fact of the movie and therefore based on the screenplay. Even so there are a few differences with the actual plot of the film. Pretty good, pulpy book.
When the movie based on this book was in the theaters I read the book instead. I never have seen the movie. It's been sufficiently long ago, now, that I don't recall details but I remember enjoying the reading of it.

If you enjoyed the Al Pacino movie, treat yourself to its superb print version. Written by Leslie Waller, under the pseudonym Patrick Mann, this based-on-true-story novel is woefully unknown and underrated, but thanks to Internet bookstores, no longer hard to find. Waller, writing in third person, pulls you right into the life of Joe Nowicki, aka Littlejoe, who plans to rob a Queens Chase Bank so he can pay for a sex change operation for his transvestite lover. Topical and raunchy were two words..more

I've actually never seen the movie. The book is about a man nicknamed 'Littlejoe' who decides to rob a bank with his friend Sam in order to pay for Littlejoe's wife's (Lana) sex change operation. They take over the bank on a sweltering hot day in the summer and have a handful of hostages under their wing. Littlejoe tries to compromise with police officer Moretti as he leaves the hostages unharmed as he receives a million in cash and a flight out of the JFK airport to Casablanca. In the end their..more
I found this to be a funny, entertaining read. Of course, any fan of the movie should find it enjoyable. It's a great tale of a bank heist gone epically wrong, and the characters--although not the brightest--are convincing and likable enough to gain sympathy from the reader. Little Joe is extremely selfish, but he's relatable in that he's stuck in an un-ideal life that he desperately wants to change. After deciding to rob a bank things quickly spiral out of control and soon he's stuck in a hosta..more
I love Al Pacino, and after seeing the movie, I bought this book and must say really enjoyed reading it. The book is about a man nicknamed Littlejoe who decides to rob a bank with his friend Sam in order to pay for Littlejoe's wife's sex change operation.
This book is a good read fast-paced,and gripping.
