After rereading the book recently for the first time in many years, I am more convinced than ever that if indeed another GF installment is filmed, it should be concentrated on the period from when Michael leaves Sicily to when he reunites with Kay as a poilished and debonair "Don in waiting".

For those who have never read the book, the plot that ultimately gets Michael back in the states without facing any charges for the McCluskey/Sollozo killing is simply great. This is accomplished using the "negotiators" that are mentioned during the planning of the murder, and is very complex and detailed; in a word, Brilliant.

Then to follow that up with the tutoring by Vito to his successor is most intriguing to me.
