Works somewhat better than the movie as it expands more on the characters, especially Don Corleone himself (a story that only got told in the second movie). Some parts of it seem pulpish and unnecessary like the whole story on Ms. Mancini and her *anatomy*. (  )mohi | Jul 5, 2009 |   Unmistakably trashy at times, but irresistible. The plotting, intrigue and characterisation are brilliantly combined as Puzo skilfully weaves various times, places and people together. The romance/airport touches are easily forgiven in light of such an entertainingly told saga. ( )hazzabamboo | Jun 17, 2009 | 1237. The Godfather, by Mario Puzo (22 Aug 1973) Even though I saw the movie before I read the book I still found the book absorbing and hard to get away from. The language and explicit sexual scenes disturbed, but nevertheless it is a powerful book, I thought.

Amazon.com (ISBN 0451205766, Paperback)The story of Don Vito Corleone, the head of a New York Mafia family, inspired some of the most successful movies ever. It is in Mario Puzo's The Godfather that Corleone first appears. As Corleone's desperate struggle to control the Mafia underworld unfolds, so does the story of his family. The novel is full of exquisitely detailed characters who, despite leading unconventional lifestyles within a notorious crime family, experience the triumphs and failures of the human condition. Filled with the requisite valor, love, and rancor of a great epic, The Godfather is the definitive gangster novel.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:18 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
