milo_afc 's review for:

The Godfather by Mario Puzo
5.0

Excellent book, one of my new favourites I think. Like the sequel to the first movie in my Top 5 movies of all time (The Good the Bad and the Ugly, Reservoir Dogs, Godfather Part II & Empire Strikes Back) this is high up there with my favourite novels of all time. Wonderfully crafted, very Shakesperian, amazing character depth and a fantastic masterclass in writing by Mario Puzo. Really need to read more of his work now, but this epic is really essential reading.
