Much like the "GF Returns" it was really a novel about Geraci and a bunch of minor characters no one cares about. Rather than using Geraci and other characters to highlight Michael, Winegarder makes them props for his creation. I know this fact has been mentioned in earlier posts but it just so frustrating. If Winegarder wanted to write a crime novel about a character he invented (and probably thinks of himself as), why screw up the GF mythos to do so? Also, he is one of the most boring writers I have ever encountered. I read the Godfather cover to cover in one day all those years ago...both of Winegarder's sequels are sheer torture. I read the first to see what it was like and kept hoping that it would get better. I read "GF Revenge" to be fair to the author and to see if there was any improvement. "GF Revenge" is marginally better but Winegarder only could go up from his first attempt. How sad
