Godfather Returns - Mark Winegardner








Chronologically this book is placed in between all three movies. It fills in the gaps about Michaels family life and his struggle to take his family legit. I don't know what the reviewers who gave this thing a thumbs up were smoking but the writing is nothing like Mario Puzo. This moron has put the godfather saga to shame. He writes with forever annoying brackets (oh so many brackets). The new character, Geraci, was great and probably the only good thing in this novel.

The overall story wasn't bad but I'm never going to read a book written by this author again. I think I'll have to read 'The Godfather' again just to remove the bitter taste in my mouth.
