Enjoyed this book for a second time. Well read on audiobook by Joe Montagna (who i believe was in The Godfather 3). Pretty much has the plot of the first movie and much of part two (in slightly different order) but just shows how close the movies follow the book. Sometimes went off course with elements of the story that really didn’t need that much detail and there were some chapters I found myself asking ‘why is this even here’ otherwise extremely entertaining.
