Ive heard long time ago that this book was out but wasnt sure if it got a good review.
Can anyone say if its worth to read it even though it wasnt by Puzo?

I wouldn't trash it totally and completely.
While I have very strong objections to some members quoting things that happened in GFR as a legitimate continuation of the story (while I feel that what is presented in the book is no more valid than any ideas that you or I or anyone else might have), there are a couple of interesting subplots in there.
On that basis, on a scale of 1-10, I give it a solid 3.
If you are a true hardcore GF fan, you should read it anyway.

If you are a true hardcore GF fan, you should read it anyway. I did. It took my almost a year to finish, but I finished it. Right on the money with the rating Plaw. And I didn't throw it in the trash. I kicked it, spit on it, and flung it across the room, and then I put it on my bookshelf. And the sad thing is this : When The Godfather's Revenge does come out, I will go and buy it, and try to read it. You know why? Because we are all Godfather junkies, that's why. Don Cardi
