I think Puzo had a big fall out with is wife, right? And she went screaming, AAAH! You just don't understand me or women! And he was tryin to make it up to her! I dunno, it's a very guy thing to do, the way it's written, I think it's and outside joke of some sort or I agree with Constanzia, it was probably written and Puzo didn't like it or his contract for writing the book was running out and he had to leave it, it wasn't the best part of the book.
You shoot me in your DREAMS and you better wake up and apologise!

I think the book had a large amount o fsexual content but i think puzo did a good job describing the scenes ie: "Sonny caressed her vulva"

Originally posted by Ricardo: This whole book, and the drinking theme between Guiliano and SC is innapropriate. This post was started about 5 months ago, does it matter? It's a very worthy post what JaneM mentioned I put my own opinion into it and someone misunderstood what I meant which was of no fault to him. We made up and drinking is a good way to make up. Unless you've drank about 50 pints worth in the last 5 days and lived off random burger vans and McDonalds. Anyway, chill out Ricardo and have a beer with us....

i wouldnt say its innapropriate at all, Mario Puzo just including the sex scenes so he can gain some more buys

If the movie was CUT to be rated R, what would the book be rated, PG-13, i don't think so. Sorry for bringing up an old topic, but for ME it's new, i came here fist time during Christmas! I can't have beer, i'll But thanks for the offer I just realized AFTER pasting that this was a cheerleader with pom poms, and not amexican smiley with a Sombrero and sparklers, I'm Spanish.

funny, i read the book at 12 and it was also my first "adult" book. the stuff between sonny and lucy (page 28 in my book) was certainly an eye-opener and unfortunately since my parents weren't telling me anything i thought that was the way it always went! the stuff between Jules and Lucy didn't shock me even then, just bored me. my parents didn't know i read it then.

Saladbar is right about the langauge of the times. I think he wanted to show his characters being slightly racist. It's quite known the Italians and coloureds weren't the best of freinds during those days.

I knew there was hatred between colored and italains, there always has been. I just read in the book, about how Neri caved the pimp's skull in, powerful writing by Puzo!

What do I really feel? Well, being fourteen gives me a half-child half-adult perception in both the novel and the movie. Actually, I've seen the whole trilogy about two to three times, for my cousin has the DVD's. Actually, the reason why I even bothered to watch the movie is that because of the Rugrats In Paris movie by the Rugrats!!! The movie(The Rugrats) started out great and I thought that it would be interesting if I watched the movie (The Godfather). I did, and I felt that I just had to start from the beginning after I watched it because of the emotions and the passion developing in our watcher's minds. Well, to tell you the truth, it was overwhelming when I read the novel because Mario Puzo clearly had that same passion that Francis Ford Coppola felt when he directed the movie. Did you also know that Francis Ford Coppola tore ou each page of the novel, pasted it in a "border-wrap" fashion, and took notes before he started directing the movie. He knew where the scenes had to stop and start, and that's why the movie was so different from the novel. It was viewed by two different people with the same ideas, and the movie is comprised because of these people who really wanted to express the feelings and the theme of the book, with the reality that binds around it. Best Movie Ever-
