The Godfather


I dont know if i can even begin to comment on this book....its incredible from start to finish....i had first read this in third year of college....and i was impressed...but i had forgotten about it....then the other day..i thot i have to re read this classic and bought myself a copy of the book....Don Corleone...a character who is larger than life and commands the respect of one and all....if he had lived...i would have wanted to meet him....a statesman of sorts...Sonny...a character with all the fury and strength...u can actually see in front of ur eyes the scene where he beats up Connie's husband Carlo outside his book making place.Micheal...Don incarnate....dint get to see much of him in the book as the don....but i loved his character...I had read the sicilian too....but i dont remember much....i loved the fury in the book...the sense of revenge thats sicilian...thats what i loved the most...the way they get even....what i remember the most about the book is because of the movie "You've Got Mail". In that Meg Ryan asks help from Tom Hanks...and he says to go for it with all she has got...he tells her to go to the mattresses....Meg cant figure out what he is saying....then Hanks explains....in case of any doubt ask "The Godfather". i havent seen the movie so i guess i have to make do with a personal copy of Mario Puzo's work and referring whenever i am in any doubt..:)
