I highly reccomend the book. It is well worth the read. Just be warned: there is a part of the book that is pointless and really has nothing to do with the book at all. But still, I love it.


How am I not myself?

You will find lots of context for things that appear in the film. Plus you'll find lots of interesting side-stories, such as how the Bocchicchio Family got Michael out of Sicily, and how Al Neri came to the attention of Michael.

Absolutely, positively, unquestionably, and without a doubt. By no means is it a "great" book from the standpoint of literature, but its required reading for any fan of the film(s).

And to Silvia Lombardi: All books are NOT necessarily better than the movie. And if there ever was an example of the movie being better than the book, its Godfather.

As plawrence already stated...I wouldnt call it a fine piece of literature...I mean its no James Joyce's Ulysses or anything but as far as storyline's go you can't beat The Godfather....plus you learn more in the novel than is shown in the film.....READ IT!

I HIGHLY recommend it. It's definately a MUST READ for all fans of the movie and Mario Puzo. You kinda get to see the "Bigger Picture", a more in depth look of the story.

"The Godfather" is a very addictive book. I've re-read it countless times. I never get tired of it. It will definitely expand your knowledge of the movie tenfold.

I am almost finished......it enables you to understand more of why certain decisions are made...more of a background so you're not left guessing after watching the movie....

However, as many posters have mentioned in various threads, I have noticed the whopping amount of typos and other mistakes in the book. It's rather shameful for Random House (or whoever the publishers are) not to have fixed those in and by this day and age. Surely it reflects more badly upon them than it does upon Mario Puzo (r.i.p)

Welcome to the Phily area. Here you are leaving Buffalo and coming to Philly and today we get more snow than we have had in years. Are you bringing it with you?

The book develops characters that the movie didn't. For example, Johnny Fontaine, Lucy Mancini, and Johnny's pal Nino, who is not in the film.

Hey, Don.
Well, I haven't moved to the Philly area yet! I'm going at the end of December.
But yeah, it looks like Buffalo's wonderful lake-effect snow is following me, doesn't it? grin
I am visiting in a couple days to hunt for an apartment. I'm looking for something in the Hatboro-Horsham-Willowgrove area. Are there any apartment complexes you would recommend?

I actually live on the NJ side of the river. A friend of mine lived in the Korman Suites comples near Neshaminy Mall and he liked it there, but that is all I know of in that area.

Anything concerning the GODFATHER is worth reading. So why not read the book that set off the craze!
