A very enjoyable read, but it is a great illustration of how everyone can use an editor. Coppola eliminated a ton of unnecessary story (Lengthy descriptions of Sonny's member, pelvic floor tightenings, background story of ancillary characters) and the whole was better for it.

A beautifully written and entertaining novel about family, loyalty, and love. It takes talent for a writer to make you care for and root for a murderer. I'm excited to finally watch the movie.
