THE GODFATHER (Mario Puzo)

"A Classic"
A perfect book. Cannot be put down. The characters are impressive and their style is doubly so. Great dialogs add to the effect. The dialogs by Don are less but are "filed to perfection." The book is organized similar to Bible. The entire book consists of 9 books and each has different chapters. All together a difference experience of reading books. The story writing is so lively that characters are formed in front of your eyes and you can actually watch them as in a movie. The large size of book might have at times affected the entertainment factor but surprising twists and whole "set-up" of the Mafia makes the reader engrossed in it. The author has gone into detail about working of the Mafia. At the same time, he gave importance to the family. Hollywood too comes to play at times. The value of friendship is what kept me close to the book in the initial chapters.
