So, after the Weingardner books I swore not to read any other attempts at new Godfather material. The temptation of the Family Corleone was too much and I took it out of the library and read it. The bar was set pretty low for it in my mind, but I found myself enjoying it. I like the idea that you know most of the characters, but some of the storylines seem a little too contrived. It almost tried too hard to tie up questions and use Italian slang. I still enjoyed it, and you could make a movie out of it.

Tony Soprano: Yeah well, when you're married, you'll understand the importance of fresh produce.
