A pulse raising and spine chilling pen work by Mario Puzo.
The sheer intensity of brutal facts which the novel explains with amazing coolness
And ease is really fascinating.
This really is a master piece, reflecting the origin and the growth of the mafia in sicily/italy and the vital bearing it had on Americans.
The sheer uncomplicatedness of the novel inspite of indulging in so many characters is just unbelievable.
And its no wonder that this being my first read(novel), I am just into reading and no wonder I just completed it in a day and half.
Don vito corleone and his vision about Michael corleone just reflects the intellect of a genius.
Its has so many twists and so many unexpected events to surprise the reader and keep him interested till the last word.
If this read doesn’t get your pulse raising and heart beating then you have got to check up with your medics.
Hats off to the masterpiece.
