This is a good book about the mafia. This book made me think about what it would be like o be a part of a family where your father is a mafioso and you are the only child that knows his true identity. I believe anyone who likes the book "The Godfather" or related books, would love this book.

I read once that this book was published after Puzo's death and that he probably didn't finish writing it. I must say I believe because the end of the book is just weak. The begining of the book is great, but the end? The way that two cops got corrupted is described is just ridiculous. That other...

    This is my first Mario Puzo book and I think I did well by starting with it. The story of the rise of Astorre, the new Don, this book manages to garner some amount of sympathy for a gangster that you should otherwise loathe. The killing scenes come so suddenly and are narrated so well that you cringe in discomfort. My favourite part was the ending, the way it all came together. Really liked it.

    It's a better read if you're stuck in travel, especially someplace as depressing as Penn Station before the renovation.
