First time here...glad to see such a bunch of enthusiasts like myself.

Had reserved GFR at the local library a couple of weeks ago and finally got it Monday night. I had read some decent media reviews and was excited to start. I actually enjoyed the very beginning with Tessio's execution, but man did the thing spiral downhill after that.

I can even deal with a couple of minor continuity problems, but this guy took it upon himself to change the very nature of the major character. Who can read the original novel, see the films and then expect to believe Michael flying Kay to Tahoe for a picnic lunch, then making out with her in some empty movie theater like a high school kid. Ugh...Michael was cold as ice by the end of the first film...this book made it seem he was visited by the Queer Eyes for the Straight Guy or something.

Am I to assume this guy had the best story for this book? Nobody else EVER submitted anything better? Bla.
