I thought The Sicilian was one of the most gripping stories I have ever read, The Godfather was great don't get me wrong but it didn't make me get as attached to the characters as The Sicilian did, I don't konw what it was about that book but something about it sucked me in and didn't let me go even after I was done with it, It changed the way I thought for a long time afterwards...if anyone hasn't read that book I highly suggest it
