Title: Cardboard Godfather
Review: This book explains why there are so many poorly written books on the market: when you read it, you realize that even you can do better. How 'bout howlers like, "...boiling under the surface, coiled like a..." --ever hear of mixed metaphors? Or "...muscle-thin, with jet dark eyes..." Huh? "muscle-thin"?? And what exactly are "jet dark eyes" other than a cliche, wrapped in a synonym. The characters are completely one-dimensional, the dialog is wooden and the story is preposterous. (Like gangsters who remain true to their wives. Didn't this guy ever watch the Sopranos? Goodfellas?) This guy doesn't have any idea about the world he's writing so badly about. Save your money.
