I cannot agree here. Puzo's writing can be at times very uneven, but at his best he's a genius. His prose is excellent, deep, and able to say many things between the lines, which I value most of all in good literature. But I won't start one more discussion on Puzo here, I've spent enough time analyzing the depth of his writing talent in other sections of these boards.
