Yeah, I saw the great movie too many times to be impressed with the book that it's only loosely based upon. Even Coppola himself says that more than half of the book was omitted. I could see people having read the book before ever seeing the movie thinking the book is better. I've tried, time and time again with the book. I really thought it was me, that maybe it was just the short attention span, having grown up a product of tv and movie watching. But I've read good novels, and I've read bad ones. The Godfather is underwhelming. The movie is brilliant. I just can't come to any other conclusion.
