I thought the book was excellent. Not on the same level as 'The Godfather' or 'Omerta' but it deffinetly did Mario Puzo's 'Godfather' justice. I think the only reason people didnt like it is either because it wasnt as good as 'the godfather' [really, what kind of idiot would set there expectations so high] or it's the cool thing to do. There were only three things i didnt enjoy about the book. The first is that it ends up Kay didnt have an abortion. That was stupid and ruined the entire GF2. The second is that Anthony Corleone somehow knew about his uncle Frado's death and at the age of 10 seemed to understand his fathers business.

I also felt that the ending was a little rushed, but thats all of my complaints. I though Frado being Gay was excellent and a very good idea. Winegardner may not be as good as Puzo but he deffinetly holds his own.
