krishsai97 's review for:
The Godfather
by Mario Puzo
Even after having watched the movie and knowing all the iconic dialogues and scenes, this book thoroughly kept me hooked. The drama across various acts was palpable.
The book progresses through Vito, Sonny and then finally Michael. But you always felt the presence of these characters even in their absence. The marriage setup is very well done. The stories are an absolute page turner.
I could see through the chapters the growth of Michael from a reluctant son to the Don's successor. His presence gets frightening towards the end. There are so many life lessons on negotiations and patience spread across the book. And in equal measure is the misogyny and patriarchal thoughts of the times. The character of Kay Adams reflected a lot with me. She is the silent spectator to the drama just like us. She is the one who can see through their bullshit.
And finally I know what the famous Thunderbolt means. I loved swifting through the various books. I would like to read this novel at a stretch some day and hopefully enjoy it more.
