I enjoyed reading The Sicilian, although it bored me in parts. I don't like how Mario Puzo added Michael Corleone and Peter Clemenza to the story to sell the book.

I know what you mean and I agree with you, but It sometimes makes sense anyway, in the movie and the book Puzo does not explain how Michael came back to America. We can considered as a cover of a missing story, you know there are many missing parts and year in the Corleone Saga, when I get the chance and arrange some details I am going to make a timeline to cover all the missing parts with things from the webpage, books, movies or whereever I can get info from.

But it was nice to have another book with Godfather elements in it. As far as I know Omerta is the only other book that he wrote that mentions the Corleones.

I bought The Sicilian at the mall yesterday for $4.00 used. I knew that since the movie was made for a novel written by Mario Puzo it would be good. I enjoyed watching it. An old friend of mine once said, "It's not The Godfather." And after watching I came to realize that it's not. It's ."The Sicilian". I don't have to compare movies to bigger, more popular movies. That's what ruins the film. So when I watched it, I watched it as a new adventure. I'm kind of surprised they didn't make other Mario Puzo novels into big films...And as successful.
You know, we always called each other good fellas. Like you said to, uh, somebody, :You're gonna like this guy. He's all right. He's a good fella. He's one of us.: You understand? We were good fellas.

It's my first Puzo novel. I'm currently reading it and so far, it's been fantastic.

Woops, forgot about this.
Anyways, I read it and it was great. A charming book.
Now, I'm beginning the Godfather. Finally.
