I've read the back cover, and it seemed rather odd wording and such, alot of "such and such happens"-coma-"such and such happens" and it seemed rather choppy.

Is the entire book like this?

And is it actually good? [no spoilers please].

Please see DSC\'s Review if you want my opinion. My fingers are still tired from typeing it, and a little shameless self promoting never hurt anyone.


If winners never lose, well, then a loser sure can sing the blues.

Costco has it for around $15, I don't know how much it runs elsewhere... just to let you guys know.

Well I read the review and now want to read the book,

where did the author get the rights to do this?

The problem I have is that this is not Puzos thoughts and ideas, this guy just made this stuff up, so its just not the same

The original publisher, Random House, invited a host of literary agents to have their clients submit a detailed outline of their ideas for the book.

Hard as it may seem to believe, Winegardner apparently "won".

Well, 2 and 3 films are full of non-Puso's ideas, even in GF1 FFC changed his ideas several times, and still you watched them. You know, you are not obliged to believe anything except original novel. Read it as one of the versions. Everyone may have his own version about further events...


keep your mouth shut, and your eyes open.

Yes true - I am reading it now and just going to go through the whole thing before making judgements.

Thanks!
