This epic and well written novel by Mario Puzo about a Sicilian crime family is more than a revelation of the inner workings of the mafia in America. It is an exploration into the character that has existed within humanity since time immemorial.

i love complicated schemes and planning and mafia , wish there were way more of the genuinely good ones like puzo’s masterpiece instead of cliché romance (undying love, overprotectiveness, betrayal tropes, etc) ; cant wait to read the rest and watch the movies tho graphic violence isnt my thing, and if only someone could right an equally good, feminist-centric version w strong female leads instead of hysterical wives and dead wives and italian wives
