The way to aproach this book is by NOT having high expectations for it. Take it for what it is, a novel written by another writer besides Puzo who will use his interpretations of the characters just like we do on these boards. Hopefully he will do his homework as he writes this book. It is very hard to live up to the reputation of a classic book written by a great author. When It comes out, I'll read it and enjoy it while I do. If it is a great read, the better, but if not, so be it. Let's face it, we a re all Godfather junkies on here, and we all look for anything of QUALITY regarding The Godfather. Don't pre-judge the book, wait until it comes out, read it, and then make your judgement.
