I can only surmise that Puzo included them in the book to give it a better chance of being more commercially successful (many authors of that period included gratuitous sex scenes).

I found them unnecessary but not overly gross. Although I do wonder why Puzo felt he should put it in there. I recently re-read it and it just seems that it was added on latter to make the novel longer. I mena, it's not overly sexual, it's just...medical.

Like a spin-off book or something. Silly idea I know, but it could include Fredo aswell all in Las Vegas/Hollywood. Sure, i'll guess your right Turi, what's the problem. I've you like it read it, i've you don't like skip it, no problem thus.

I didn't mind the Dr Jules or the Johnny part. I was interested to find out a bit more about Lucy, but maybe not that much, don't get me wrong it wasn't lewd (in my opinion) but I think there was maybe going to be a story line at the end of it or something and Puzo just didn't get round to it or he didn't like what he was wanting, I was expeceting to find her pregnant (probably because I watch the films before I even thought about reading the book. I was interested in the Johnny part more thought because it put a better emphasis on the relationships and after all he was family. But back to the original point, the sex which went on throught out the book, didn't really have a point, unless it was just meant to reflect on people and relationships and possible lighten up the novel and take it away from being quite so dark...

Originally posted by JaneM: I just re-read the novel, and I forced myself to read every page, rather than breezing through the Jules Segal and Lucy bits. I had not really been aware of the heavy and totally irrelevent and lurid sexual content of the novel.
Don't misunderstand me, I'm not offended by the content, but it just seems so mis-placed in this great novel. Was it just a device to increase sales?
I first read the novel as a 13 year old schoolgirl, and I remember being profoundly shocked by the novel, the first 'adult' book I had read.
How do other women feel about this? I'm thirteen right now. NO I'M NOT KIDDING. Godfather rocks!

I think Puzo had a big fall out with is wife, right? And she went screaming, AAAH! You just don't understand me or women! And he was tryin to make it up to her! I dunno, it's a very guy thing to do, the way it's written, I think it's and outside joke of some sort or I agree with Constanzia, it was probably written and Puzo didn't like it or his contract for writing the book was running out and he had to leave it, it wasn't the best part of the book.
You shoot me in your DREAMS and you better wake up and apologise!

I think the book had a large amount o fsexual content but i think puzo did a good job describing the scenes ie: "Sonny caressed her vulva"

Unless you've drank about 50 pints worth in the last 5 days and lived off random burger vans and McDonalds. Anyway, chill out Ricardo and have a beer with us....

If the movie was CUT to be rated R, what would the book be rated, PG-13, i don't think so. Sorry for bringing up an old topic, but for ME it's new, i came here fist time during Christmas! I can't have beer, i'll But thanks for the offer I just realized AFTER pasting that this was a cheerleader with pom poms, and not amexican smiley with a Sombrero and sparklers, I'm Spanish.

funny, i read the book at 12 and it was also my first "adult" book. the stuff between sonny and lucy (page 28 in my book) was certainly an eye-opener and unfortunately since my parents weren't telling me anything i thought that was the way it always went! the stuff between Jules and Lucy didn't shock me even then, just bored me. my parents didn't know i read it then.

Age has nothing to do with drinking. Russian kids have been known to drink vodka regularly from the age of 11. But again i'm not pressuring you. Don't give into peer pressure kid. Puzo isn't racist. Saladbar is right about the langauge of the times. I think he wanted to show his characters being slightly racist. It's quite known the Italians and coloureds weren't the best of freinds during those days.
So die all who betray Giuliano

I knew there was hatred between colored and italains, there always has been. I just read in the book, about how Neri caved the pimp's skull in, powerful writing by Puzo!

What do I really feel? Well, being fourteen gives me a half-child half-adult perception in both the novel and the movie. Actually, I've seen the whole trilogy about two to three times, for my cousin has the DVD's. Actually, the reason why I even bothered to watch the movie is that because of the Rugrats In Paris movie by the Rugrats!!! The movie(The Rugrats) started out great and I thought that it would be interesting if I watched the movie (The Godfather). I did, and I felt that I just had to start from the beginning after I watched it because of the emotions and the passion developing in our watcher's minds. Well, to tell you the truth, it was overwhelming when I read the novel because Mario Puzo clearly had that same passion that Francis Ford Coppola felt when he directed the movie. Did you also know that Francis Ford Coppola tore ou each page of the novel, pasted it in a "border-wrap" fashion, and took notes before he started directing the movie. He knew where the scenes had to stop and start, and that's why the movie was so different from the novel. It was viewed by two different people with the same ideas, and the movie is comprised because of these people who really wanted to express the feelings and the theme of the book, with the reality that binds around it. Best Movie Ever-
