The Godfather

I had seen the movies a few times and I picked up the book because one of my friend told me the line that one bibliophile often tells another "The book is a lot better". I was bewildered and purchased the e-book to read on my kindle. I did not expect it to be such a well written book. Sure the movie was good. But the movie is good for several other reasons than just the story. I could see the strength of the story through the book. I read it in a few sittings in two days and sometimes I felt hard to lift my eyes from the book.It is a master piece. Though to speak it is a story of the mafia that ruled New York for a period, the book is a lot more. Mario Puzo's powers of observation, his comments on the nature of life made me remember some of the classic Russian novels. I hope to read it again after a few years, sure to see it in another light then.It is one of those books that, I think, is written to be read again in every stage of life

What other word can describe this novel. A masterpiece by all measures. Have read it for years before misplacing my book. Ordered it again to re-re-read it.

Im not critics to write any thing about book or Author Sir Mario Puzo thousands and millions times reviews had been written the best book ever i had read in my life ,i am going to tell you the quality of book whether it is original or duplicate as usual we get it on street sidethe quality of book is really good the book is original published by Arrow books .the pages r very thick as u compare the copy with duplicate copyThe printing of pages r systematic and bold and dark printing easy to read as u see in duplicate pages r thin and printing is of no quality very disgusting to read some time u get board and throw the book but this book is really nice to read very decentthank you amazon and seller YOURREADS for giving me such a nice gift only in rs 260only drawback in packing i got book folded form front right corner up to 40 pages in transit by delivery associatebut i came to over come it by keeping the book under pressure for few hoursfinally its a new fresh copy and it is original one GRAB ITthank you all

. . . Is precisely what this book does! I admit that the only reason I picked up this book is to know the real story, before the movie narrated it - and I just couldn’t put it down! The perfect book to read all day long when your plans are thwarted by a heavy unseasonal downpour ? Not quite. This book, IS the plan!

The media could not be loaded.

Best crime novel ever from Mario Puzo.I got it under a huge discount offer.And Obviously The delivery was on time and delivery boy was so soothing and calm.When you read that persuasive saying of Don Vito Carleone, Sunny, Michael and so on, you will realize how this books got an Enthralling book tag.Just love this awesome saga of Don Carleone.👌👌Oh! Yeah, It's absolutely a aduct fiction. There is a few so deep description of sexual intercourse💏💏 as till now I know by reading book1, 1st part of this book. 👀👀

work is good

One of the finest novels you will ever find. Read Godfather as a story or as a way of life. If you are capable of absorbing important messages from any novel, this novel is a university of how one must lead the life.

Buen material

Livro é esclarecedor e complementar ao filme. Não há uma página que seja entediante, é uma leitura dinâmica.

Consegna precisa e puntuale e libro in perfetto stato. Carina l'edizione con la prefazione di Coppola

Good print and very handy

This is not the sort of book I normally read: crime, murder, family feuds - but I have seen the films many times and I bought the book on a Kindle daily deal - I like to collect classics.The first thing to say is, it is beautifully written and with affinity for each of the main characters and their point of view, as they enter the story. I cannot say how much of the three dimensionality - or sometimes four-dimensionality - of the characters I feel is due to the book itself, or my familiarity with the films; it can't be separated now.That leads me on to the next thing I must mention, which is the first thing I noticed on reading this book. The first part of the book and the first part of the film are almost identical, so I was in familiar territory. We are at Connie's wedding party, in the grounds of the Corleone family estate and it is almost as if, like 2001, the two were written synonymously. I have to say that this makes the film enormously clever, I feel, to pull off such a thing - but then, Mario Puzo was heavily involved in the making of the film - and I might have felt very differently about it, if I had read the book first (I hated Disney's Winnie the Pooh!).The book, however, contains a lot of detail that is not in the film - a whole different dimension to both Johnny Fontane, and Lucy Mancini (Sonny's Mistress) and, even having seen the films many times, I still thoroughly enjoyed it - in fact, it was comforting to have ready made images I could call up, for these characters, which did not clash with the book in any way.All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable, well-written book, with few grammatical errors and I am on to the next one now, while my husband, who has been anxiously waiting in the wings, for me to finish this one, commences to devour it, probably in half the time it took me!
