I enjoyed the book immensely. I'd seen the movies first (all 3), so maybe that's why I got into the novel so much. However, although I enjoyed it, I can see how someone else--even a Mafia "fan"--might not appreciate it as a "great piece of literature." Held up to the old, old classics (e.g., Beowulf, The Odyssey, Fall of the House of Usher, Great Expectations, etc.), The Godfather is--literarily speaking--a dime novel. But on its own, I consider it a classic.

when i lived in Sicily, I bought and read Il Padrino in Italian. I loved it! mabe it was just the atmosphere i read the book in, in Sicily and all, but i liked the book better than the movies. the book is still a top seller over there! (as are the movies)
"...C'era un solo uomo che poteva sistmare una simile faccenda. Il Padrino. Don Corleone."
