Should I get the book?

Lately I have gotten very interested in the movie and I'm wondering if theres any difference between the book and the movie (don't tell me something that would ruin it for me) and if so is it worth reading?

If you like the movies, then sure, go out and get it! The book contains some really cool background info about pretty much everything seen in GF and the flashaback scenes in GFII.

also it has additional plotlines (entire chapters about 'some' of the minor characters of the first movie) and extended versions of the scenes from the first two movies


definitely worth it if you can't get enough of the movies and wish the 9 hour trilogy wasn't all there was...because they're not, there's the novel, the book that started it all

Okay, it's on my "to buy list". And Thanks!

Yeah the book is amazing, and you get to see certain scenes from different angles. When Vito asks his favour from Bonasera in the book, it is just amazing. In a way, I wish I'd read the book first, just to experience that scene without knowing what happens to Sonny.

yes buy it today. the book has a lot of other story lines i.e. more on johnny fontane. the book is awsome,so if you liked the movie i'd reccomend the book

Get the Godfather+Last Don copy, its cheaper than the godfather by itself.

The book is definitely worth your time. It gives more insight (which is both good and bad) and much more character development. For example, there is more to the storyline of the horse's head with Woltz in the book. I'm not going to spoil anything, but things like that make it worth reading at least once.

Don't even think, just get it

i don't have the book, i borrowed it from the library and read it though, it's very good. some silly parts, some parts that are just too sensational, but the core story is, of course, excellent.

I don't like the parts about Johnny Fontaine, or Lucy Mancini. I find them slow and irrelevant. However I love the part about young Vito Corleone, I wish Puzo would have written more about that and the beginning of the Corleone family with Vito, Tessio, and Clemenza.

I wish more of Sonny making his bones and things like that were in the movie. Thats where I'm starting my GF4 script.I also found thier age diffrences varried in diffrent parts. Once time Sonny's 7 years older then Fredo, and another time he's only 3 years.
