Since The Godfather Returns is supposed to fill in the gaps of what happened in bewteen the movies, what are you looking for to be wrapped up?
Myself, i'm on the watch for;
1. A good explination how Clemenza, and Tom Hagen died. 2. What happened to Willie Cicci after Part II 3. How did Joey Zasa rise through the ranks 4. The wherabouts of Sonny, Connie, and Hagen's children 5. Clarification on Hagen's supposed affair with Sandra 6. Who was Altobello exactly, and what was his relationship with the Corleones before Part III 7. What Vincent did with the family before Part III 8. When was B.J. Harrison hired and a little on his background
As you can see, I've got a lot I'm looking for. Alot of these things may seem minor because they deal with lesser characters, but that was the beauty of the original book. Al Neri, Paulie Gatto, and the capos all got a pretty decent story to go along with them and that helped flesh out the whole epic. Anyone else got anything they want explained more?

Columnist Liz Smith reported (after reading an advance copy) that the book will touch on Fredo's problem. plawrence posted a short article by Smith in another thread. Here's a link (below) to that discussion. The article is the 7th post there: GODFATHER RETURNS DISCUSSION

--Were there five or six families? --Who killed the Tahoe assassins? --Who was that eating the Chinese food? (It wasn't Rocco) Seriously, though, the problem here is that any of the answers to these questions will simply be the opinions or interpretations of another author, and are no more valid than those of any of the many experts on the Novel and/or Trilogy who are members here.

I don't know If this information will be included in the new book, but I've always wondered about Luca Brasi and the long version of the story that the lady told Michael when he was in Sicily (about how she got to meet his father and the lady with the baby).

Originally posted by Don Sonny Corleone: BMD- I dont understand what you mean? Are you refering to the child that Filomana(the old lady) tossed into the fire? You're correct that is what I was refering to, you must forgive me if I wasn't clear enough, I'm new here. After reading the Godfather novel, I find that whole story interesting and that made me more interested in knowing more about Luca Brasi's background.
