I am with you all on how Puzo had to stoop down and get so much in detail with Lucy and Johnny. But, I mean, to us, this stuff is all just...well crap, and I am sure that Puzo felt just the same. However, Puzo said he put that stuff in just to sell more copies, and the book was on the bestsellers list for quite a while. So, who knows, maybe if it wasn't for all of this, the book would have been a flop and the movies might not have ever been made.

Nonetheless, the book is much better then the movies. It goes much more in detail with the Corleones, sadly along with the extras.
