I've been into Puzo for quite some time (hey, I even like Earthquake) but just recently introduced my wife to the "Family" 0ver the course of two weekends. She loved Part 1, (although she thought it suffered slightly in comparison to Goodfellas, which we'd watched the night before). But by the half-way point of Part 2, she was completely enthralled. The next weekend, we watched Part 3, and we were both in tears at the movie's conclusion. She was floored, and I was firmer than ever in my conviction that Part 3 is a completly worthy conclusion to the Corleone saga. Beautiful, beautiful stuff.
