However, I still agree, The Sicilian was better written. It was a better story, and much more captivating. Besides, the Sicilian Mafia always interested me more then Cosa Nostra.

The Godfather movie was...a dream come true... Its one of the best movies I have seen in my life... "Pain has no tendency, in its own right, to proliferate.

The drama between Turi Guiliano and Aspanu Pisciotta is really good and the storytelling is superb! One can picture what it is like living in the mountains with those bandits. The imagery is really great! Thumbs up for Puzo! Also, the The Fourth K and The Family are beautiful books. Puzo is truly a genius!
