This book is legendary. The back and forth chronology of the writing is perfectly aligned. After reading this book, I so badly wanted to be a mafioso. The first thing that caught me was just exactly how organised, organised-crime is. They operate like a small army with well definied business units and a hierarchial structure to employ automatic deniability. An advantage of the book over the also-amazing movie is that the author explains the inner workings of the mafia with vivid details. Also, each character is so well developed, I love the calm and composed style of Don Corleone. And even better was the fact that he came from humble beginnings.
This book is simply epic. No guy should go through life without reading this book at least once. "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer"
