Summary: Amazing! A genius in our midst
Review: Mario Puzo's 'The Godfather' is weaved and kindled with all the skill and attention for detail of a master craftsman. The novel is unstoppable in both pace and theme. This novel, without doubt, has earned itself a place in the list of all time classic works of literature, and its author, in the list of all time greats. Fantastic!

Summary: The Godfather is the best book I have ever read.
Review: The Godfather provides the reader with an understanding of friendship, love, respect, and loyalty. Most people think negatively when they think of the Italian Mafia, but Puzo managed to get across a deep and powerful message of how family and truth are the root of life. Such a point can be used to describe anyone's life. I highly recommend this book for all those who believe in respect, honor, and truth. If anyone can get a copy of Puzo's book the Sicilian it would be a great addition to the Godfather. It is connected to the Godfather, yet a new story all together. I also recommend Mario Puzo's Fortunate Pilgrim which explains the depth of family. And the book Capo (the author's name escapes me) is an excellent novel on Sicilian Mafia facing the truths of betrayal, love, and the city of New Orleans. The Godfather is a book for anyone who enjoys the tales of Italian Mafia.

Summary: The best gangster book I've read so far
Review: Mario Puzo is my God. Bless him for he has written such an amazing book. I just got so engrossed in it. I didn't want it to end. Even though I knew what was going to happen (because of the movie) it was still much more interesting to read it. I thought Donnie Brasco was the best gangster novel, but this just blows it out of the water. Somebody whose never read a book in their life could easily enjoy this one. Very highly recommended to anyone whose interested in the life of an old fashioned gangster.

Summary: THE gangster novel
Review: The best gangster novel ever written, bar none. This book is the standard by which all mob stories are measured. I have read this book about a dozen times since buying my first copy in 1975, and have enjoyed it every time I've read it. Truth be told, about a third of the book could have been taken out, but it is still a very good read. May God bless Mario Puzo.

Summary: A brilliant masterpiece...better than the movie!
Review: The Godfather is definatley one of the greatest books I have ever read! The characters were so well written and the way the story of Vito Corleone and his Family members unfolds is brilliant. I saw the movie first and saw it 3 times over a period of two days and loved it, it is still one of the greatest movies I have ever seen but the book is infinitley better. The Godfather or Don Corleone is one of the wiset greatest men, despite what he does, as is his son and heir Michael. It is a brilliantly written book I could read it again and again...
