I read it and enjoyed it some time back, but you're making me think I might like to revisit it.Jeff Pikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17148737647138431543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32685968.post-66219906850544068662012-05-13T21:57:42.885-07:002012-05-13T21:57:42.885-07:00If you thought the movie was great wait till you r...If you thought the movie was great wait till you read the book. The Godfather is a brilliantly written story detailing the accounts of the mafia society and the Corleone family stationed in New York. The novel takes place in New York, Long Island, Sicily, and Las Vegas throughout the 1900's. We are shown how a mafia family is run and the influence they have on the American society. The novel begins in one generation and continues on throughout the next generation of the Corleone Family.<br /><br />Although the novel is quite similar to part 1 and 2 of the renowned Godfather series, they do have their own differences. A lot of scenes in the novel are not in the movie and the movie contains some scenes that are not in the novel. So don't be discouraged or afraid to read the novel if you've seen the movie because even though they are similar they are also different. The novel contains well crafted characters and provides a much more clearer and detailed account then the movies on the characters of Johnny Fontane, Lucy Mancini, Albert Neri and many other minor characters. In this novel, the author Mario Puzo uses a unique storytelling technique that makes The Godfather such a good read. He tells the story from many characters point of view and transfers from past to present and vice versa. The plot is intricately designed so that all the events are connected to and related to each other. The technique that famous movie director Quentin Tarentino uses is quite like the technique that Mario Puzo uses to tell this story.Francehttp://raisingselfesteem.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
