A review by bookishmuse_26
The Godfather by Mario Puzo
The story draws inevitable comparisons between Vito and Michael. Vito inspires both love and fear, a balance that cements his power. Michael, on the other hand, elicits fear alone. Michael’s journey is where the real emotional gut-punch lies. We see Michael evolve from a naïve college student, dreaming of becoming a math professor and leading a normal American life. And yet, bit by bit, circumstance and tragedy chip away at that innocence, reshaping him into someone unrecognizable. By the end, Michael is ruthless, cold, and consumed by the very power he once rejected.
This is more than just an action-packed, two-generational mafia saga; it’s a story that feels cinematic, almost as though you’re watching a movie unfold rather than reading a book. The Godfather isn’t just a book you read; and by the time you turn the last page, you’ll understand why it’s considered one of the greatest novels of all time.
