Customer Reviews of The Godfather

A phenomenal book to go with a phenomenal movie!
If you've seen the movie The Godfather, then Francis Ford Coppola, Marlon Brando, and Al Pacino struck you with greatness. Now its time to buy and read Mario Puzo's all time classic and be blown away all over again. But if you're expecting a peaceful read that you can relax at night and read before sleep you'd be sadly mistaken.

Puzo's classic novelization of the mafia saga of Vito and Michael Corrleone is a must for every literate in the world. Between these covers are tales of crime, corruption, savage murder, love, drugs, Las Vegas, triumph, tragedy, and Vito Corrleone's rise as the nation's greatest Mafia kingpin. And all these stories are written with fiery intensity and passion that brings the characters to life in ways few authors can. Puzo writes this book so well that you will cringe in horror at the savage and corrupt ways of the Sicilian mafia, and all the terrible things that the members of these Mafia families will do.

So if you've seen the movie and was simply blown away or if you're just a fan of good reading that brings the characters out of the pages of the book and leaves them stamped in your mind then here is an offer you can't refuse; buy it now, and enjoy some of the greatest literature EVER!

One Of The Greatest Novels Ever Written
How often does one read a novel that takes you on a trip as though you were there, side by side, with the characters of the book? Unfortunately, not very often. Surely they're mostly fictious creations from human minds, often forgotten about after the last page is turned. However, The Godfather is a different issue. This book is as engaging as the movie is, and the characters come out with as much punch and realism as depicted by Brando, Pacino, De Niro, Caan, Duvall and Cazale. That's the first thing that makes this book so wonderful...the characters are so real and entirely believable, almost as though Vito or Michael or anyone of the Corleones took you by the hand and pulled you into their lives. Secondly, the book is incredibely eloquent and beautifully written, in a style that is often subject to emulation and envy, probably by Mario Puzo himself. None of his books come out as electrifying as this. The Last Don, Omerta, The Fortunate Pilgrim, The Sicilian...all these make good reads, but none are as memorable or as moving. Finally, on a much more personal note, everyone I know who has read this book (including myself) were left begging for more. It ended too soon, and I believe it would have ended too soon had Puzo wrote another four hundred pages. It is impossible to have enough of this book. Unarguably, the best novel about the Mafia, and definitely my favourite book.

amazing
now dont get me wrong i love the book. i gave it four stars however because of the incredibly boring excess of parts about johnny fontane,lucy mancini, etc. the rest of the book is an amazing portrayal of the world of the mafia but not only that but their families as well. it illustrates the concepts of honor, loyalty and justice in a setting where if you think about it seem like they would matter little. we are talking about career criminals here. i think thats what really draws our intrest. the fact that we grow to love characters that have such good qualitities and away from the crime setting would be considered wonderful people. just my opinion.
i could hardly put this book down...except i was staying up to early hours of the morning to read and drowsiness overtook me. some aspects of the book are better than the movies...like how it explains the actions and motivations of some of the smaller players more. but the movie i am grateful skipped over many insignificant parts that were unnecessary. both are amazing so check them out!
