Another good book,
very easy to read, a real page turner. Perhaps the most interesting thing is the differences between the book and the film,. for instance there is a whole story line revolving around Johnny Fontane, the Frank Sinatra type character, which is completely omitted from the film. In addition there is a whole chunk of the story about Connie which we don't hear.
The book is in many
way more violent and darker to some degree. However it has to be said that the Godfather character does not come across quite as charismatic as Brando. I suppose this is testament to the great actor. Although the author tells us of the respect and the awe people hold him in, theres something about his dialogue of its delivery thats missing.

The ending is also different, I suppose they didn't need to set it up for a sequel.
I've now moved on to satanic verses.
