Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE GREATEST BOOK OF ALL TIME
Review: THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ. MANY SAY IT IS ABOUT IMMORALITY AND GREED, I DISAGREE. IT'S A BOOK ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MEN AND MEN, WOMEN AND WOMEN AND MEN AND WOMEN. A REALISTIC VIEW OF HOW MEN REALLY FEEL ABOUT OTHER MEN AND WOMEN.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good book but lacking story
Review: Not up to Mario Puzo standards, the story does not develop as quickly as other novels, a good story but constantly wondering when we will get into the "meat" of the novel.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Bad Men consume Power, lust, violence & corruption
Review: Its almost long time I read Fools die but my memory shoots back to the thrill and excitement while I read this book of Mario Puzo, the very name that remained alive on back of my mind! It portrays a sinful side of an exceptional good person. Its all about the flawed choices of life - How people become consumed to lust, power and violence in a city like Las Vegas, New York and Holly wood. Its a page turner as you read through the pages with the main character John Merlyn and the scenes behind the publishing house and movie production in the mid of the book. Osano, Artie and Janelle indulge in a bad game of lust n kill n hook to series of scenes thru the story with the sex scenes more pitchy to read tilting away from the grip to read. Overall, its a great book which I possess and Mario Puzo 'The Godfather' is another one but this one is killing in the time when you really want to read and explore...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent story.
Review: Unlike most of Puzo's other books, this one is not about the mafia.

It is a great read. Good characters (Maybe the best character developement I have ever seen), and a decent storyline that keeps the reader turning pages. It isn't the most exciting book ever written, but the material is still interesting enough to make it hard to put down.

The prologue is THE best I have ever read. Just that alone is enough to give it five stars.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Review for fools Die
Review: this was a good book. i loved the way mario puzo wrote it. its exactly how people these days talk. i also thought it had an excelent plot. how it varyed from location to location. Merlyn, Osano, Cully, and Gronevelt were, i felt some of the main charecters. The way each one shared their personality with the book made it a gripping yarn. i would recommend this book to all people at least 15 and up, though. if youve read it, you know why. ;)

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Fair to midland
Review: Overall, a disappointing read. Embarrassingly bad sex scenes. Shallow characters. Dumb story.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: a good book, but not at Puzo's best.
Review: This book was mixed. The main character, John Merlyn, lacked character. He was a boorish family man flirting with people who have more troubles than him. The story is action packed in the beginning with Jordan playing at the Baccarat tables in Vegas. You don't really need guns and fights to have action in a story, just a page turner that will lead to a climax as Jordan's gambling does in the first fifty pages. Osano is the only character I found to like as a prolific author who is also a chauvinist pig despising feminazis. How would you like to say "I'll fight you or F*** you" in front of a crowded female audience at the Womens Liberation Convention? Good old Osano.

The last 100 pages would lead you to a shocking conclusion only to become a dissapointing thud. This book is a page turner, true to that. However, the middle of the book gets too much detail going behind the scenes of book publishing and movie production and less into the corruption and scemes this book promises between the "golden triangle of corruption." It leaves you with too many questions to ask as if the author forgot he left us the evidence to investigate the deaths of Cully and Janelle or the many flights John took to Los Angeles that would leave his wife questions if he is having an affair. John's wife must be dumb....

At any costs, I'd give "Fools Die" a moderate consideration. This book killed time for me in the Samoan & Australian Afternoons. However, It leaves many questions unanswered with a storyline that looks like it will give you multiple climaxes to conclusions only to resort to an ending that is a whimper.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: truly a masterpiece
Review: this book is by far the most romantic of Puzo. if you think the romance in teh Sicillian and the Godfather is just not enough...u will love this one. and please, don't think there's any less mob. after all, life is beautiful.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: pig vomit
Review: the review title speaks for it's self

Rating: 1 stars
