A Goodreads user asked this question about The Godfather (The Godfather, #1):
I'm apprehensive about reading this book. This is typically a genre I wouldn't read (not to mention I haven't seen the trilogy) but I know it's a classic best-seller. Why should I read the book? What should I take away from the book? Why do you recommend it to me?
trashichen Never read any crime/mob boss stuff, but this was still awesome. Great tale.
