dknippling 's review for:
The Godfather
by Mario Puzo
An Italian-American family saga across ten years, centering around the transformation of a rebellious younger son into a ruthless leader.
I normally hate sagas; they tend to be too loosely plotted for me. But this was great, centering on Michael Corleone, so the plot arc felt solid. The details and worldbuilding were superb, the characters rich, and the storytelling well arranged. There was quite a bit of dancing around in time, POV, and location, but it always felt controlled and deliberate.
I recommend this for fans of the movie and fans of crime novels in general.
