I just read GFR about three weeks while on a long trip, just because I was borred. I personally think that it is an insult to the movies and original book, especially in the ways that many people are portrayed. Also, the Dons in Puzo's book are much more civilized than the Dons in GFR;they sound more like characters from scarface than from the Godfather. And this is mentioning none of the inaccuracies that he so conveniently put in.

Also, he spent way too much time (in my opinion) on irrelivant stuff. Fredo did too much stuff that really accomplished nothing in the storyline but rehash the point that he was a bumb with a crazy idea to move a ton of corpses. Also, to touch once again on the lack of linkage with old characters, he basically created several new people and gave a little more substance to characters that were there just for completeness.
In short, it doesn't interfere (very much) withu the movies, but the linkage isn't that good either.

I struggled through 173 of 538 pages but ran into a dead end in Chapter 12 - Book III - Fall -Christmas 1955. I am convinced Winegardner is a dope head and was under the influence when he wrote this part. I know the words are in English, but they make no sense. He is totally babbling. I absolutely could not decifer his writing. I have put it down for good.

I will try out his second attempt, "Revenge" but I don't suffer fools for long.

It was mentioned in the original novel on how Sonny witnessed Fanuccis death.
Sonny said it himself.

Why didn't I read this topic earlier? I bought this book yesterday for €6 (8,5 USD I guess). I thought it was well worth it but apparently it is really awful. I'll read the book anyway and hopefully it can please me more than it did you fellas.


There are 3 ways of doing things around here: the right way, the wrong way or the way that I do it!
