Longneck. Bottom line is that his followups on the Godfather Novel sucked big time. The guy had a license to use these characters, and in having that privilege he could have written some great stories using some very interesting GF characters. Characters like Pentageli, Clemenza, etc. Instead he blew it big time.

Over in another topic I said, along with another member, that Winegardner wanted to introduce his own characters, characters like Nick Gerace, and in doing so he just used Puzo's characters to suround his own. Using the GF names only helped him to sell his trash novels.
