Review title: Are there two Mario Puzos?
Product review: I read The Godfather in 1971--in high school--and loved it. I haven't read it since (yet), but I'll be surprised if my opinion will have changed when I do. Most of the books I loved then still hold up to a more mature re-reading. So what is with everything else Mario Puzo has written? I tried The Sicilian and thought it was laughable--something early he unearthed for his publisher when fame struck. I tried The Fortunate Pilgrim, after reading glowing reviews about his true "masterpiece." I thought it was pretentious and boring. Then this book--it reads like a novel written after a teleplay to capture a miniseries audience of non-readers. Don't bother--it's not even any fun.
