The book could have also done without descriptions of Lucy Mancini’s nether regions. Definitely TMI. I also noticed the Godfather book had a line that was used in a movie but not The Godfather. Rather it was in Star Trek II. “Revenge is a dish best served cold.” It was phrased differently in the book.
Yeah, true! Sonny gets over-described too, lol. The Godfather is definitely caught between being pulp and 'smart' fiction, just like Mario Puzo was as a writer. But the main story is still super tight and well-executed :) About the line you mention, maybe it was already a well-used phrase before the book came out. Thanks for your thoughts!
The dollar as a bookmark. That’s art. This video was great!
Haha, thank you!
Great review. Never knew it was book till you mentioned it.

I purchased this back in the late 2000’s. I’ve just started to read it now. 📚
Nice! Definitely a good book to dust off and read :)
