The Luca Brasi in Puzo's novel does not resemblance the Luca Brasi in the film either. In Puzo's novel Luca is "squat", while in the film he's muscular and large. He also talks a lot more in Puzo's novel if I remember correctly.

So far (and I'm only in chapter 10) I think Vito and Sonny behave like we know them. They behave much more like themselves than in the Winegardner novel that's for sure.
