Ranchhoddas: true.. al neri was never consigliere, Don Vito replaced Hagen. After Vito's death and all the score settling, Neri takes over tessio's crew. very true. but going forward in the story, Michael doesn't really have any real consigliere in the story anymore, because hagen has become their legitimate business lawyer in Nevada, he's only called upon when Michael has to hide for a while , hagen doesn't return as a real consigliere. the person still closest to Michael's nice and vindictive heart is neri... what do you think |
Re: The Godfather By Mario Puzo Review by diezani(f): 7:46am On Aug 03, 2017 |
Awoo88:true. but hagen wasn't really recalled |
Re: The Godfather By Mario Puzo Review by Awoo88: 8:45am On Aug 03, 2017 |
diezani:Yes he was. Mike told tommy how the don told him that he tommy will figure out why he was sent out but he could longer afford the luxury of his absence. Told him he was needed by his side after the don's dead |
Re: The Godfather By Mario Puzo Review by Ranchhoddas: 10:10am On Aug 03, 2017 |
diezani:You are quite correct. Al Neri went on to forge a great Don-Capo partnership with Michael. But Hagen was retained as Consigliere. If you remember, when Kay got angry at Michael for killing Carlo Rizzi (Connie's Husband) and left him, it was Tom who went to her house and gave her a hint as to the necessity of the action. This was after the peace had been made and the Corleones had become the most powerful Mafia family. That was a Consigliere at work. Even in the sequels, Hagen was consigliere till he was murdered. You should check them out. |
Re: The Godfather By Mario Puzo Review by Ranchhoddas: 10:18am On Aug 03, 2017 |
Awoo88:You are right. I remember him saying "I put on my Sicilian hat and finally figured it out". Tom Hagen was my favourite Puzo character. In fact, my alternate handle on this forum is in his honour. I was so mad when that silly sequel-writer decided to kill his character. Those sequels should never have been written. |
Re: The Godfather By Mario Puzo Review by diezani(f): 12:25pm On Aug 03, 2017 |
Ranchhoddas: the godfather returns and the family Corleone are not great books. they are too disjointed, there's too much struggle to blend into the puzo storyline. For academic readers like me, Winegardner's books are a blot on the main godfather story and boringly revisionist. you don't have to fill every blank and open end in the Godfather story, those are part of what makes it the classic that it is - allowing the imagination of the readers to roam . I concur with others who have said Winegardner's books should be used to wrap frozen fishes and sent to his publisher |
Re: The Godfather By Mario Puzo Review by Awoo88: 1:42pm On Aug 03, 2017 |
Ranchhoddas:There are some works of art you done do anything about. Just leave it the way there are. Who ever did sequence deserve a jail time. Tommy had more knowledge about that family and he was the only one who could reason like the Don. Killing him means the Corleone family have been defeated. |
Re: The Godfather By Mario Puzo Review by Nobody: 2:15pm On Aug 03, 2017 |
Ranchhoddas: Thanks for the correction. I refereed to it as a sequel cos it's the only book by Mario Puzo that dwells a bit on Michael's exile aside Godfather ( I stand to be corrected). |

MY REVIEW, MIND NOT MY SPELLINGS. ...IT HAS BEEN A WHILE An undaunted writer was Mario Puzo, his book THE GODFATHER reflects a mafia layout in the italian style forming in the 'then' America. 'Don Vito Corleone' the GodFather and man of 'REASON' himself showed great courage in his first attempt at deciding his destiny by killing 'Fannucci' the hoodlum-called-mafia in his attempt to rid Vito of his and his partners-in-crime's hard earned money. Vito became a man who people turn to when in need of money and advice or both and that became the foundation on which he built his empire. 'Clemenzia' and 'Tessio' were the caporegime or captains involved in securing the business envronment of the 'Genco Pura' olive oil company. 'Genco Abbadanno' was the 'Conselingre' of the Don until he was riddled with cancer and the boy-come-man 'Hagen' rescued by 'Sonny' one of the Don's Son a young man with unrestrainable temper who was not expected to suceed the Don in the family business took his place. Mario gave an air of violence to Luca Brasi's being, someone with expertise in killing and a tool of the great Don. His expertise ended when 'Sollozo' came into play and ruined an almost peaceful mafia environment by attempting the murder of the Don, when he saw the eagerness of Sonny to join him in his drug business with the support of the 'Tattagallia' and 'Barzini' faminy which were in a power tussle with the 'Corleone' family. In an attempt to end the war before the Don got out of his sick bed, 'Michael' the only son of the Don with semblance in personality but not looks killed 'Sollozo' and a police captain after which he fled the country to Sicily to hide. The Don, very disappointed in the was the matter was handled while in his sick bed was not pleased. 'Sonny' was later ambushed by the lure planned by 'Conny's' (only daughter of the Don) husband 'Carlo' and killed, a deed which made the Don call a meeting of all the Don's in New york to negociate peace......... Abeg let me stop here for now i just love the story but typing is not easy. Till later. 1 Like |
