Welcome Machiavelli to the best Godfather/{uzo BB on the Internet. You do have an interesting question. I thought Omerta was good and it doesn't come close to The Godfather (but what book is right?). Maybe the book could have been better in terms of story telling (the twists, every great film or book has one). The story was simple (again compared to the subplots/myriad of characters of The Godfather) and I have to agree with Snake that Astorre was a bit too perfect. On a positive side its nice to see the main character perform some action (instead of oredering people all the time). Enjoy yours stay here and happy posting.
