Who would have known!

L.A. Banks, could be the only author to even attempt this book and succeed. I couldn't put it down and have passed it on to my close friends and family. L. A. is famous for her Vampire Huntress Legend books. Read them if you haven't. I have always thought she was a brillant writer, but this just proves it. This should truly be made into a movie, right along with the VHL series. Why not, hollyweird waste money on making flops every year. Why not give the people what they want from this brilliant talented lady with the golden pen. Stay in the light, peace! Oh you can pre-order the next installment she is writing about Tony Montana. GET IT!!!!!

Ever wanted to know what Tony's life was back in Cuba?

Novelist L.A. Banks answers a lot of questions about Antonio "Tony" Montana's life prior to his arrival in Miami, Florida in her book entitled Scarface: The Beginning. Published in 2006, this book coincided with the release of the Scarface: The World is Yours on several gaming platforms. With the game talking about a "what-if Tony had lived" scenario. Banks looks at Montana from a beginnings standpoint. Not giving anything away, Banks steps comfortably in the shoes of Tony Montana as she sets Montana and his best friend Manolo "Manny" Ray on a mission to gain respect and move up the ladder of the La Familia. Experiences that shaped Tony Montana into the character we know from the movie are spread across the pages of Banks' book. Here you will learn of Tony's true love: Rosaliah, his idol and inspiration Miguel Rodriguez, Tony's code of honor and poetic wit, and lastly, why Tony feared going back to prison.

LOL and a delivery that kept you on the egde of your seat.(((Viva Cuba)))Keep this series going Mrs. Banks Glen a.k.a. PhatGesus....
