I am a little bit of the way through Fools Die and I must say I am enjoying it, although it's true it has it's good bits and slow bits.
The Dark Arena was a book I enjoyed. That is all I have read so far; The Godfather, The Dark Arena and some of Fool's Die.
I do know that Puzo himself considered The Fortunate Pilgrim to be his favourite book.
Winegardner? Trash. I made it to page 22, upon which I found myself to be going in a bad mood. I haven't picked it up since, and I'm fairly positive I could happily live my life not knowing what happened in "The Lost Years" if it's gonna come from his bolshy, unnatractive writing.
The problem with "Fools Die" is that its starts out in Gronevelts Casino and then you keep reading for 403 pages hoping the book gets back on that topic, it doesnt, it just keeps on blabling about a noobs life..
I finished both Winegardners. Must say I can understand that people here dont like it, it alters the Corleone saga very much. But it is a hell of a lot better then Puzo's "Fools Die"!
