This isn't a perfect book. It often tells instead of shows, there are long passages that should've been edited out, some plot threads don't really go anywhere meaningful.
Despite these flaws, I had to give The Godfather five stars. It drew me in, painting such a vivid figure of the crime family the Corleones that I felt like I knew all the main characters personally. It's a long book, with winding passages, asides, and flashbacks, but it kept me anxious about what would happen next - something rare in a 450 page book, and I've already seen the movie!

I was warned and I didn’t heed it. The Godfather is spectacular, but it’s portrayal of women was too much for me. The Godfather suffers from the same problem as George R.R. Martin’s books: all the women are hypersexualized. It’s too bad, because I absolutely loved the book until each jarring aside taken by Mr. Puzo to describe the breasts of a woman or the lustful tryst between two other characters. It’s excessive; unnecessary.
I regret having to put this masterpiece down, but it just wasn’t fun to read.

An manchen Stellen zu lang und weird. Hätte ich den Film vorher nicht gesehen, hättees mir vermutlich deutlich besser gefallen
