The Shea brothers thing was too close to what happened, all he did was copied history, he didn't even change anything about it until near the end. At least Puzo took real life events and put his own spin on them...



Long as I remember The rain been coming down.
Clouds of Mystery pouring Confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages, Trying to find the sun;
And I wonder, Still I wonder, Who'll stop the rain.
