One thing that the book didn't do for me was convince me of Lucy Mancini's worth in the entire story - I mean who gives a damn about Sonny's mistress? She didn't even show any remorse about his death - she only basked in the monetary benefit the Corleones provided her.


I think the character that stood out for me in the book was Al Neri - I liked his principles even though they are not particularly p.c. Rocco just pales in comparison.
