Welcome aboard John. The novel is absolutely "unputdownable". You will see large chunks of dialogue that appear almost verbatim in the film. You will notice some slight variations eg the "Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes" line. You will see Lucy Mancini and Johnny Fontane have much bigger roles in the novel. Characters like Rocco and Al Neri have backgrounds given to them and much more. Enjoy!!!
