Favorite Puzo Novels

Mines would be

1)The Godfather
2)The Last Don
3)Omerta

(im planning on reading the sicilian later on)

Interesting thing is that I was planning on reviving an old thread with such a topic...

I have recently read "The Fortunate Pilgrim" and was stunned. It's not a Mafia/Gangster book, but it ranks up with my favourite of all time (not only of Puzo)

Anyway, here is the list of Puzo Novels (those I've read*) in order of preference (after the introduction of The Fortunate Pilgrim:

1] The Godfather
2] The Fortunate Pilgrim
3] The Sicilian
4] The Last Don
5] Omerta

*I'm yet to read The Dark Arena and The Family...But having some idea about the topic of The Dark Arena, I don't think I'll like it...I also have to buy The Fourth K...

Mine would be
1.) The Godfather
2.) The Fortunate Pilgrim
3.) Fools Die
4.) Omerta
5.) The Last Don

I've yet to read The Fourth K and the Sicilian and I just started the Dark Arena.
The Family isn't going to be published in Australia at all which I'm not happy about. So if the guy who posted an answer to my Family in Australia question reads this thread, there's some bad news for you. I really really hope I got the wrong information though.

mine would be
1:GodFather
2:The Last Don
3:Fools Die

1)Godfather.
2)Omerta.
3)The Last Don

I'm currently reading Fools Die and have yet to read The Family and The Dark Arena. I'll like to have them all read by May.

I was thinking it over and I've changed my order.

2.) Fools Die
3.) The Fortune Pilgrim

6.) The Dark Arena

I finally found a copy of The Fourth K which I haven't read yet, but from what I've heard it's really good.

Obviously, the Godfather is the best. I also enjoyed Omerta, the Last Don, the Sicilian, and the Fourth K. 4th K was not a mob book, but I found it very enjoyable anyway. I didn't really like Fortunate Pilgram as much, but I guess you don't have to like all his books. I'm a huge Tom Clancy, Patricia Cornwell, and Jack Higgins fan and I don't always like ALL of their books either.

mario puzo is a genius, may he rest in peace

1. The Godfather
2. The Sicilian
3. The Last Don

He truly was a genius. He is missed.

good yes..Genius NO...sorry

I would rank the Puzo books I've read as follows:

The Sicilian
The Last Don
Omerta
The Fourth K

Sorry, I mean

The Sicilian
The Godfather
The Last Don
Omerta
The Fourth K

I've only read the Godfather so thats my fave.

In the "I Wish He Hadn't Done That" category: The Fourth K

Fav: The Godfather
The Sicilian
The Last Don

And all of them make good movies. Espcially The Godfather.

1) The Godfather
2) The Sicilian
3) The Last Don
4) Omerta

1) The Sicilian
2) The Family
3) The Fortunate Pilgrim
4) Omerta

I haven't read The Godfather and The Last Don novel yet. See, the thing with me is that it's hard for me to read the book after i've already seen the movie because i already know what's going to happen. Other than that, i plan on reading The GF and The Last Don novels anyway because those two ranked in almost all your lists.

No. 1: The Sicilian (...the best book I've ever read!)

No. 2: The Godfather

{No. 3: Comin' Soon...}

TheChosen1, check out the topic "Turi Giuliano v. Michael Corleone" when you get time.

You'll see me bleeding all over the screen about the ending of The Sicilian.

I was just trying to find anyone who felt the impact of the ending like I did.

1)Dark Arena
2)godfather
3)Omerta
