Bailey’s Reviews > The Godfather > Status Update

For the most part I really enjoyed the last couple books. The NY storyline is what holds my interest. I still don't understand why there is so much focus on the west coast stories. the Lucy/Doctor story was entertaining enough, except for the part where I really don't care that much about their characters & it most definitely read as male wish fulfillment. What guy doesn't want to build his own vagina.

I really enjoyed getting to see so much of the Godfather's backstory. This book was so much better than the last. However there had to have been a less jarring way to give us this info. Like the last book, it just completely took us out of the main story. It's been over 100 pages now since we've heard about the current drug war the Mike provoked....I'm just excited to get back into it.

That was..... So unnecessary and boring. I could not possibly care less about Johnny Fontane if I tried & reading an entire book on him completely took me out of the amazing story they set up in the first book. Not to mention he reads as a male wish fulfillment & the narration style grants me no sympathy for him. Here's to hoping book 3 can bring it back.

Dammmmn Mike. I was prepared for him and Hagen to be my favorites & now he's off to Sicily? Still killed it though......(hehehe)

No single chapter needs to be 74 pages. Ever. Otherwise it's an interesting start. Lots of threads to follow.
