I couldn't believe he decided to make Fredo gay. First off, it's not very "clever" that he made the weak Corleone gay. Were we supposed to think, a-ha, now we can see why he's weak: it's because he's gay! It all makes sense now! Maybe he betrayed Michael, because, gee, he was weak and naive and didn't even realize the consequences of what he was doing? Just like the movie showed. But I guess it didn't spell that out clearly enough for this author- he needed it to be spoon fed so he missed it.

Seriously, this guy actually beat out other people to write this book? Who's minding the store at Random House?
