I gotta say, this Godfather is the only film I've ever seen that I prefered over the book. FFC cut out all the boring stuff, and all the weird sex-organ-deformation stuff, and that made all the difference for me. It seemed like Puzo couldn't decide between writing a mafia book or a porno sometimes.
I would agree that FFC left out the less interesting stuff from the novel. However, I would have liked to see the following from the book:
1) inserted into the beginning of the GFII film: the scene between Kay & Hagen, where Hagen is sent to bring Kay home
2) a flashback scene showing Luca Brasi killing the 6 Capone men
3) a flashback to a young Santino telling Vito that Santino witnessed his father murdering Fannucci.
