There is no doubt in my mind that Mario Puzo is a storyteller. The world he has created is absorbing and once you are in, you won't want to come out not even for meals until you flip that last page.

The first two Godfather films are considered two of the greatest films of all time. I can't say the same of the novel. It's not Great Literature (tm) on a par with novels of Austen or Hugo, but it's not quite a trashy Jacqueline Susann read either. Although like Susann's Valley of the Dolls and many...

If you know me incredibly well, you'll know that The Godfather is my favourite film of all time. So, I expected an awful lot from this book. I didn't expect many Italian terns to be used since Mario Puzo didn't speak a word of Italian. Or Sicilian dialect.For someone who was born in America and didn...
