In other threads, it was discussed how Puzo liked to throw in stuff to demonstrate how smart he perceived himself to be. I would agree Can you (or anyone for that matter) provide some examples of is. I've read the book and who never have categorised Puzos style of writing in this way.
Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward, whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both. For a wounded man shall say to his assailant, 'If I die, you are forgiven, but if I live, I will kill you'. Such is the rule of honor.
