I finished my second book for the challenge - The Godfather by Mario Puzo. Visit my blog to read the full review.
Here's the Cliff's Notes version of my review:
I liked the book but not as much as I liked the movie. There were a couple of sections in the book that didn't appear in the movie and I thought they were not essential to the plot. Those nonessential sections also happen to contain a lot of graphic sex and crude descriptions, so they weren't my favorite.
You are braver than I. I've never even seen the movies.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the book, in spite of myself. I come from an Italian family, and it's funny how much of it applied... or rather, how much DIDNT.
ReplyDeleteI liked it, too, moonie, and I'm not only Italian but Sicilian. I think it was the writing, though. The movie was good in its own right... and that's a different animal entirely.
ReplyDeleteI've read a couple of Puzo's but my favorite of all time is The Fortunate Pilgrim - that's just a really good novel - no mafia hype or anything like that.
