My mother emailed this to me this morning. Fred-o? Fon-tan? Then he goes on the butcher the Tessio-Tom scene, cant fathom why "the most emotional killing was done offscreen" :rolleyes: :rolleyes: and last but not least,says he doesnt want to creat any discrepancies. BTW- This isnt the book to brag that you wrote it at "the top of your game"  Winegardener Interview

Good. Looks like it's bombing. Probably won't, overall. I hope it does.
Mick Capo, Have you read it yet? Don Cardi

So far.......not too bad really, but the story/stories are just developing. Can't give an overall review of course, til I finish it. 
TIS TIS, I am exactly where you are in the book. I also feel the same way as you do. How can anyone pass judgement if they haven't even read the book? We were discussing this last night and we agreed that the problem with all of us members here is that basically we are Godfather Afecionatos, and we know all the little details that the average reader does not. So therefore we agreed that we should first read the book with an open mind, and then after we are finished, we can give our opinions on it. Don Cardi

Thanks for the link, DSC! I'm glad my interview w/ him wasn't recorded, cuz my questions weren't as good as the NPR guy's -- altho, I surely would've pronounced the names correctly!  But Winegardner pronounces "Geraci" as Gher-assy? The character is Italian, right? Gey-RAH-chi!!! 
I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey!  lol Whaddaya want me to do? Whack a guy? Off a guy? Whack off a guy? --Peter Griffin My DVDs | Facebook | Godfather Filming Locations
