Book Review: The Godfather

  • I watched the movie a while ago, before I was really into doing movie reviews the way that I do them.  Maybe I’ll do a review on the movie soon.  That would be long overdue.
  • The book is very different.  Slower than the movie.
  • The door scene at the end of the movie was just for the movie.  In the book Michael says that don’t ask about my business line in bed.
  • It had been long enough since I saw the movie that I wasn’t just playing it in my head as the book went along.  I had my won movie going on, which was much more graphic.
  • I’m not sure what that says about me.
  • Wild that Michael could fall in love and marry the girl all in a month.  She doesn’t survive, much like real life with rushed relationships.
  • I still don’t buy that Vito could take 5 shots and survive.
  • Same with all the disturbing beatings people take.
  • If you can dig past the murder, unethical behaviour, and violence, there is love for family somewhere.  If you’re just a friend, watch out.
  • It was well written.  Some parts were too well written.  He’s just doing his job.
  • Mario did his job.
  • If I had kids, I wouldn’t recommend it to them.
  • Still a good book.
