I do not agree. Whether well written or badly written, by original author or someone else, a sequel is a sequel and will always be compared to the original.
Yes, Puzo co-wrote both GFII and GFIII. But it is also documented that by this time, anything beyond what was in the original novel was more of FFC's creation. I think it's been discussed here that among other things, Puzo strongly objected to the killing of Fredo (which of course Fredo didn't see coming

), but there it is anyway in GFII.
