OK - I am sure everyone here knows of the book coming out this fall.

Anyone know what it's going to be about? Anyone ever read anything by this author and what his writing style is like? Granted Puzo wasn't the best writer, but he had a way with words that was perfect for the subject matter.

I am eagerly awaiting this book!

I'm pretty sure it will be about the time period in Corleone history after the Vito scenes in Part 2 and before Part 1. Ive never read anything by him, but I am sure this book, and other Godfather related merchandice coming out is just a way to test the market and build hype for a GF4 movie.

The original GF novel by Puzo contains some passages covering the time period in the 1930s when the Corleone family rose to prominence. (Generally assumed to be the basis for most of the GF IV chapters Puzo completed before his death.)

If this is an "authorized" GF spin-off project, I don't think it will duplicate any territory already covered by Puzo in previous works.

We'll see, I suppose.

Just bumping this up to see if maybe anyone's found any additional info. I can't wait to read it. Hopefully it won't bite.

What's with the cheezy title? Will the book cover have Vito with a red cape flying through the city?

LMAO What a great idea!
