World War 2 is finally over. Constanzia Corleone, daughter of Sicilian immigrant and olive oil tycoon Vito Corleone is getting married and her younger brother Mike is finally home from the war in the Pacific. This perfect Italian family harbors a dark secret. Vito Corleone and his sons Santino and Alfredo are leading figures in New York's underworld where Vito is known as "The Black hand", "The Don" and The "Godfather" of a criminal emprie. This masterful novel chronicles the Corleone family as they use their money, and power to influence the motion picture and recording industries, casinos and even the American justice system. Being a "Friend" of the Corleone family is not without its risks or rewards as evident by the meteoric career resurrection of Sintra-esque Johnny Fontaine and the Corleone family's role in it all. It shows an ugly turf war (initially started over drugs) and it's after effects. It is a frightening and sometimes funny look at organized crime in America with a rich tapestry of colorful characters who make you feel as if you're a character in this incredible book. The film while a masterpiece only serves to make this incredible literary achievement seem even MORE stellar. This page turner is a MUST read for all bibliophiles.Read full review
Who doesn’t love The Godfather? Book is a first edition and in great shape!
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
The copy of The Godfather I purchased was a fairly used book. I love the fact fact that it has coffee stains and dog ears on some pages. It gives the book character. I bought it as a replacement because my grandmother's copy I previously owned was lost during Hurricane Katrina. The only thing I dislike is the fact that needed to buy a replacement.
i bought this book on ebay because i was hoping to find an alternative to paying full price. i was thrilled to find the 1969 edition of the godfather on ebay for a very good price. i like the used nature of the older book. it's in good shape and has been exciting to read. if you like the film, you will love reading the book.
Great insight of the mafia world, hard to put down
