Kudos Mosc. especially in regard to Sophia. But, given that the novel went on and on about Lucy and her vagina, if she did have a child by Sonny you would think that Puzo would have wove that into the story(afterall, they are kind of connected). I agree with you that GFII took a few viewings before I was able to absorb all its nuances. GFIII was an intellectual challenge. To we GFophiles, it was a delight.
