Godfather prequel! More or less much better than expected! Though to be honest, my expectations were very low. The strongest bits are with Vito (Dear Falco: more Vito, less Sonny, pls), and I could *hear* his voice in my head as I read his dialog. For being what it is, it was surprisingly restrained as far as sex and violence* and I felt it got the characters right.

*don't get me wrong, there's some. And one particular bit of violence is pretty horrific. I just expected worse, based on the original book
