Mario Puzo wanted to write a best-seller and by God he did. I don't think this is a testament to the power of literature as much as it's a testament to the wonder of storytelling and how entertainment is a worthwhile pursuit. Building up the willpower to watch the day's worth of films again, because the book absolutely comes to life in your head as you go through.

La novela me ha gustado mucho, aunque siento que algunos personajes no aportan mucho a la trama. Personalmente, siento que en ciertos momentos se les dedica más atención de la necesaria, lo que ha hecho que la lectura se me haga algo pesada y lenta.
Por lo demás, he disfrutado mucho la lectura y me han encantado los personajes de Vito y Michael Corleone. Además, la pluma de Mario Puzo me ha encantado.

i just read this--the first two movies are classics, among my favorites, and for some reason i had always thought this book was more like classic literature . . . it was a good read but not exactly what i expected! more like a pulp novel. but i did enjoy it immensely. the movies stayed quite true to the book, except while reading i was surprised to find "leave the guns, take the cannolis" absent!
What can I say that hasn’t been said many times before? It’s a classic. As a feminist, I was tempted to give it a lower rating because the depictions of women in this book are absolutely appalling, particularly one character whose role in the film adaptation was thankfully reduced to a short cameo. However, I decided to keep it at a five because I would probably get in trouble with the Mob if I gave it anything less.
Honestly it's such a prestigious movie i was kind of surprised at how obviously this book is meant for being sold and not for artistic purposes (which the author was open about). Basically no themes, no metaphors, no point, just sex, violence and men talking. It's decent but like damn. A surprise.
Disclaimer: the rating is entirely based on how much I personally enjoyed reading the book.
Gosh, this was a hard book for me to get through. I flip-flopped between loving it and tearing my hair out from how infuriating it felt.
This book really has everything. Abuse! Italians! Rape! Murder! Politics! Gaslight gatekeep girlboss except every prominent character is a guy!
I really don't know. I think I'm going to be stuck in a love-hate relationship with this forever

Para el reto de el relicario de Slytherin del desafio de casas, me puse la meta de leer un gran pendiente del genero, El padrino, librazo señores, increíble como logra meternos de lleno en la familia y las intrigas políticas a través de cada uno de los personajes iremos siguiendo desde el principio de la organización hasta el comienzo de una nueva era. Debo decir que al no haber visto la película aún, me deje llevar puramente por las descripciones del autor, creo que tiene uns facilidad para situarte en una escena y cambiar a la siguient. Como mujer debo recalcar que no es muy feminista, las mujeres son bastante degradas y a las vez cuidadas dependiendo de la situación, creo qur muestra muy bien como eran tratadas y lo injusto de la epoca, también con el racismo y la iglesia católica, es muy buen libro del reflejo de la sociedad en esa epoca, la verdad que sin palabras.
I read this book at a tender age when it was inappropriate for me to read this book. However, I was then able to grow up with it and watch it become a part of American culture. It isn't The Brother's K, but it's pretty good writing.
