Almost everything in the movie is in the book, although sometimes the movie version is a little different than it is in the novel. The novel, however, contains many more storylines than the movie.
There is a lot of time in the book spent on Lucy Mancini after her move to Las Vegas and her relationship with a doctor name Jules Segal. There is also a lot more about Johnny Fontaine and his friend Nino.
There are parts of the book I would have like to see in the movie, like more about Luca Brasi and how he handles the Capone hit men. Also, I would like to see the scene where Vito sends Sonny to handle the furnace scam artists as a test of his handling situations.
It is a great book, and if you are a fan of the movies you will almost certainly enjoy the book. If you can't find it in a store, check it out of the library.

The book is better than the film. Probably a controversial opinion, but I believe it is. And The Godfather is far and away my favourite film of all time. Read it and see. Luca Brasi, Johnny Fontane are much bigger parts and the novel is good for it.
