Gosh, I don't really recall when I read it for the first time. Probably late high school or early college. The date I give above is an estimate on when I read it last, since it is one of those books I like to reread. Yes, in high school, you knew exactly what pages the sex was in (if you were a guy). I always found that amusing. Anyhow, it definitely enriches the experience of watching the movie. As one reviewer here posted, who knew Lucy Mancini (the bridesmaid Sonny was doing) had such a role in the novel? The film, excellent as it is, leaves a lot out of the book. Anyhow, this is one of my favorites overall. I make it a point to reread it every so often. And since I am not one bothered by violence or sex (I happen to like both just fine), that is not an issue for me as it may be for some readers. The novel, while not perfect, is engrossing. Puzo really is able to allow his readers to immerse themselves in the world of the Corleones. It is not just a book about gangsters, but it is also about family and character. By the way, the edition I have at home now is some old paperback from who knows when I bought in a second hand store. I checked, and it does not even have an ISBN number, some edition published in 1969. The book that made the Mafia a household name. A spreading story of a different type of royalty. Loyalty, revenge, tradition, and family are the keys to the story. The Godfather is here to help, but remember one day, he may ask a favor from you. Well written (except for the sex scenes) with enough violence and suspense to hold a reader's attention even fifty years past the original publication date. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
