It may seem that, after reading TWO books in 2025 on the Godfather, that I'm obsessed with the series or something. Not the case at all, I swear. I will say that Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli: The Epic Story of the Making of The Godfather ended up ridiculously good (an easy five stars), and this one was an Audible Premium Plus freebie follow-up that sounded interesting. In a podcast episodic type format, there are break-downs discussing with fans, starts at times, little clips on themes. show more Mainly covers first movie but mentions all three. The majority of the soundbite interviews are from Pacino - speaking of which, read his Memoir Sonny Boy last year and that was also exceptional 5-star and highly recommended.

Spliced together from sections, this can get a little repetitive, especially with the movie scenes you hear, but it's lovely to hear the music so much throughout, the host has a pleasant made-for-radio voice, there's plenty of fun tidbits from actors/actresses and fans. Some is shallower, some is deeper. Recommended as an Audible Plus audiobook for fans of the movie.

Now I doubt I'll ever read a third book about the Godfather, but at this rate you never know. show less
