IMO, the novel had the details and "backstories" that the film was missing. But the film had the polish that the novel was missing.
Great point. It really isnt a well written book by any means. Puzo himself made it clear that it was written for money. But Puzo was always a fascinating story teller, and that really transends on th book. While its certainly not very well written, its a good read ad a great piece of fiction.
