And I agree. But I just wanted to let the person know that someone, even if that someone's book stunk, did address his question in a book.
Yeah, I understand that.
It just annoys me (I guess because I expected so much from GFR and got so little) that Winegardner wrote should be given anymore credence that what you or I or anyone else writes just because he put what he wrote in a book.
Big deal, so the guy wrote a book.
Hey, I just got a great idea. Seriously. I think that all of us here should collaborate on a book called "The Unanswered Questions About
Mario Puzo's and Francis Ford Coppola's
The Godfather".
We could take all of the questions we discuss here, summarize the valid points and arguments from each thread, and put the whole thing in book form.
I'm not kidding. And I bet we'd sell more copies than that piece of crap that Winegardner wrote.
