Thanks, Turnbull!!!
And yes, Don Cardi I am enjoying the book!! I only get to read about 3-4 pages at a time during lunch, so as mentioned previously this could take a while.
Something else I have to admit appreciating is the subtle thought process, or unspoken messages behind each action. Not only during Woltz & Hagen's meeting...but the story of Johnny Fontaine's bandleader, who did not get the point (or warning) of Vito's initial offer being dropped from $20K to $10K. Also the beating of those two that assaulted Bonasera's daughter...no blows to the top or back of the head so to avoid accidental death. Very clever stuff!
I could still live without the details of Lucy & Sonny's relationship, including whatever is to come regarding 'Dr. Jules'...but I guess it all comes with the package!!
