Read and watched over n over again and will still do again. Even Jay-Z still made reference to it in "family feud" of his "4:44 album", that tells how classical it is. |

The godfather is an inspirational book. You are not yet a man if you have not read the book and maybe also watch the film 1-3. "Behind every great fortune there is a crime". Enjoy the book. 2 Likes |

The Corleone family was sinking at a time after the death of Santino corleone (aka Sonny d don's first son who was hot tempered)his temper was used to work against him when he was ambushed on his way to kill his sister's husband 4 beatn up his sister unknowingly 2 him dat it has already been planned. santino was ambushed at a checkpoint by mafian soldiers who shot at him from both sides of the checkpoint, Santino seeing whats goin on was tryin to pull out his pistol but the bullets were too much from both sides of checkpoint not more than 14 mafian soldiers shot at him until santino was able 2 get out d car n d soldiers got a better chance 2 spray him with bullets all over his body from head to toe, his car was sprayed too n they left d bastardized body of sonny on d ground n left den immediately d corleone soldiers came 2 d scene but it was 2 late as Santino corleone was already sprayd with bullets n his whole body messd up. This actually weakened d Godfather corleone n he was was forced to call a meeting with all d heads of d five mafian families in Newyork. cut a long story short After d death of d Godfather, who's to head d family? certainly not d Godfather's 2nd son Freddo Corleone who was a weakling n a clown n so d youngest son Michael Corleone took over as d Godfather after he executed d heads of d five newyork mafia families to retain his father's position as d Godfather. Michael Corleone bcame d Godfather at a very yung age as all other members of d other families came to pledge their loyalty to him by kissing his hand n calling him d Godfather. n so Michael Corleone piloted d affairs of d family together with d family's consigliere Tom Hagen who was a good lawyer n also Fat clamenza but he executed his brother Fredo Corleone who was so foolish n weak enough to betray d family. but Michael raised the Corleone family to d greatest heights alongside with d family's loyal consigliere Tom Hagen who was d don's adopted son brought in by Santino. I so much luv d movie n I cud watch it thru out a whole day without getting bored I love d soundtrack especially. the movie was acted based on d Capo regime of d Italy. some quotes: "Keep ur frnds close n ur enemies closer", "Anybody that comes to you for a Barzini meeting is a Traitor " 6 Likes |

The Godfather, Omerta, Fools die... Books for keeps. Mario Puzo is one intelligent writer but why does all his books center around the Mafia community? |

petermuller:Ur review is wrong firstly there were 5 Mafia families not 4: corleone(long island little Italy) tataglia (Brooklyn ) stracci(new Jersey) barzini (midtown ) and cuneo (hell's kitchen ). Secondly Virgil sollozo wasn't a Mafia family, he was a lone business man seeking to expand his drug business and Don Vito didn't want drugs on d street, so sollozo conspired with the tataglia family to take him out. Lastly there was no leadership void left by Sonny's death it wasn't necessary that his son inherits the family the rank of Don was earned not inherited this explains one of the reasons Michael had to break up the family and give a part to Peter clemenza once he had successfully avenged his father and brother 6 Likes |

Awoo88: That's the part that got me angry so bad that I was angry at Mario Puzo for a while. At that time I wished the same thing but as a writer I have come to respect that a writer can do as he so pleases with his or her characters and that only one with a mind of steel can cause an upset with his or her story causing the reader to cry, steam or boil. Another upsetting piece was this play 'Lion and the Jewel' by Wole Soyinka. |

gGGODDd: you were almost 100% right. Michael's consigliere wasn't Tom Hagen. it was Al Neri. wtf is caporegime of Italy? on Sonny's death, the godfather wasnt weakened, he even said it that Sonny would have made a bad don. that meeting was held to ensure safe landing for Michael from Sicily and to find out who masterminded the attacks. 1 Like |
