I liked The Sicilian quite a bit more than Omerta, although I liked Omerta a lot. So far The Sicilian is my favorite Puzo book.
I find Turi Guiliano at least as compelling aa Michael Corleone in The Godfather.
Just when I get out, they pull me back in.

Tony Soprano : You're looking good. Looking better.
Junior Soprano: Tony, if you're gonna lie to me, tell me there's a broad in the car waiting to tongue my balls.
Tony Soprano : Hey, you want that, it's a phone call away.

I read a book I like and usually like other books by the same author. My favorite Puzo book is The Godfather, but I still enjoyed almost all of his others. I could never get going with the Fortunate Pilgim. The Sicilian is a great book, made better by the fact that there it is based on a real person. Omerta, The Last Don, and the Fourth K were all good reads, but not on a level as the first 2 (in my opinion). I haven't tried The Family yet.
By the way, my 18 year old son read The Godfather and loved it. He asked me what book to read next and I suggested The Last Don because it seemed to be more similar in pot to the Godfather. He didn't care for it, but loved the Sicilian. That gives you two opinions - one from a young guy and one from an old guy like me.

Christopher Moltisanti: You ever think what a coincidence it is that Lou Gehrig died of Lou Gehrig's disease?
Tony Soprano: Yeah well, when you're married, you'll understand the importance of fresh produce.

I just recently finished The Godfather so my next choice is the Sicilian.

Well I think The Sicilian is much better than Omerta...  Partly becuase Michael is in it... partly becuase it's a beautiful story with such a sad ending, but I'm a woman and as the Godfather said women and children can be sentiment
(I'd whish...!!)

I like Omerta too, but it just doesn't have that certain something for me like The Sicilian does.
