Sicilian as good as Godfather?

I am in the middle of Godfather right now, honestly, its so excellent, do Puzo's other works even touch it?

The Sicilian is my favourite book ever. The only rivals in my mind to it is The Godfather and Hannibal.

A fair few other Puzo books whilst not as masterfull as The Godfather and The Sicilian are still awesome peices of work.

In a word: No. IMHOP: Nothing Puzo wrote before or after "The Godfather" comes close to it.

I saw a DVD for The Sicilian in the store the other day in the discount rack. Any of you seen it? Is it worth picking up?

Only if they are giving you money to keep it.

No book can match he brilliance of The Godfather. It's unheard of!

well to answer a question, the sicilian (the movie) completely sucks ass, the book makes it look like someone put their ass infront of the screen and tried to make some money. I really hated it. But the book is great, i like godfather better though

I just started reading The Sicilian last week, but I keep getting interrupted with school work, they've got me reading The Importance of Being Ernest so I had to stop with The Sicilian. But what I've read of The Sicilian so far, I'm about half way, I really like.
As for Mario Puzo's other novels, I love all his books and ones like The Fortunate Pilgrim and Fools Die are just as good as the Godfather, in my opinion.

i think all Puzo novels are great but nothing touches The Godfather it's just impossible to have it happen. It's a shame he had to die if i could i would have traded FFC life over his(God forgive me for saying such thing oh well).

Nothing effected the public like the Goldfather

the Godfather is his best work by far.

I have to disagree.

Yup, imho, the film version of The Sicilian sucked gazelle poop, and didnt do it any justice at all. It was pretty awful.

But the novel version slays The Godfather novel.
It is just leagues better than The Godfather imo.
No contest.

Our hearts and perhaps our minds are with you

the question was Is Sicilian as good as Godfather.

Godfather is CLassic 5 Stars, Sicilian is 4 3/4, it's a CLASSIC, MUST-Read, also Last Don is GREAT!

Omerta is great.

I'm going to read The Family next, it looks AWESOME!

I glanced through in Library, it remind sme of Romeo and Juliet! SHakespeare!

I just read The Sicilian, and I loved it.

I´m a Godfather nut, but I couldnt read the novel twice...

What I liked the most about The Sicilian is that Puzo really puts you inside the head of, well, Sicilians. You understand and appreciate how the think, and how they understand...

You get an appreciation of all the unspoken language of a true Sicilian.

Read it.

I'm reading The Sicilian next. I'm 2/3 through The Last Don and really enjoying it. (Thats why I havent been around as much as I like)after that it's onto Omerta
I'll post what I think when I've finally read them all

FH

I've read The Last Don, Omerta, The Fourth K and The Sicilian. The Sicilian was my favorite by far. I would rank this thus:

The Sicilian
The Last Don
Omerta
The Fourth K

Oddly enough, I haven't read The Godfather. I'm hesitant, because I was drawn to Puzo by the first 2 Godfather movies, and it doesn't seem worth it, since the movies were so good.

Is this delusional thinking?

Lemans, yes it is very much worth it. Not only is it a great book and goes into much more than the film. But it'll make you appreciate the films much, much more. I hope you pick the book up sometime and give us your own views.

i finished the book today and its aewsome, but my next choice im sure will be the sicilian.

Thanks, Guiliano. Believe it or not, my local library does not have The Godfather! I'm going to try it and King of the Mountain.

I always appreciate a good referral and you've given me two. Thanks.

I've read The Godfather now and I still prefer The Sicilian, but they're both so strong it almost moot. I've also read King of the Mountain.

In my opinion "The Sicilian" is better than "The Godfather." The book has more emotions and Turi is just a great character...

...maybe I feel like this because I've seen the movie of "The Godfather" before I've read the book, so it wasn't that exciting any more, but I still loved it!
