I love this book. Puzo really earned his stripes with this one. There is about a one hundred page section, that from time to time gets kind of slow. READ ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT GETS BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It truly is a wonderful book. It's not all about the Mafia, it has some stuff, but very little. It has tons of sex and violence. And it's not just because I'm a horny teenager that I love this book. The best book ever.
