I've had a pre-release copy of it for about three weeks now. All I've read, so far, is the inside cover.

(Actually, that inside cover, which extends to the first page, is pretty interesting.... it lists the Cast of Characters from Puzo's novel plus Winegardner's novel). Of interest:


  • it notes that Clemenza served as consigliere from 1956-1957
  • it notes Fredo as underboss from 1955-1958
  • the "Five Families" INCLUDED the Corleones
