I bought it to some guy on the street, he asked me if I had read "the godfather", my look of wiseguy was enough reply for him and he said that he was selling another Puzzo´s novel called "The Dark Arena" so I bought it (also tipped the guy) and never read it... Just didnt catch me.
Is it good?

I have a question, reading I noticed that one guy cannot go to USA because he has TB and he got it in a concentration camp.

What is a TB?

TB is tuburculosis...and it's highly contageous

i read it... not so impressed. i just find world war II novels boring. and this one isnt an exception even thought it was written by Puzo.

...i read the dark arena this past summer. it doesn't touch the godfather. the godfather is a well put together work of expert craftsmanship. the main character in dark arena, a soldier, is in his early twenties. he's got a cavalier attitude and in some ways he's not very likeable. the story doesn't ever quite catch fire. however, every once in a while puzo hits you with a scene or incident that really grabs hold of you. i recall a sequence were a bunch of characters go exploring in the remains of a bombed-out house that has somehow collapsed into another home with people occupying it. extremely creepy chapter. you find yourself waiting for more of those kinds of sections. felt like an early puzo work, maybe one he'd written when he himself was in his youth. he was in the army during world war two, was he not? magic writing ability. must have been possessed by the devil to write like that...

I tried, I just couldn't get into it. I haven't read all of it, but I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone.




Long as I remember The rain been coming down.
Clouds of Mystery pouring Confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages, Trying to find the sun;
And I wonder, Still I wonder, Who'll stop the rain.
