I would like to blog about a favorite book of mine; The Godfather by Mario Puzo.  Many have seen the trilogy of films and claim to be fans but have never read the novel they are based on.  The book further explores each and every character by telling the story's behind each individual.  Puzo has a real talent with details and working them into stories.  He uses this skill to unravel the intriguing plot of ambition and how it can both make and break peoples lives and how one struggles with this.  It is a heavy plot with light dialogue that has a realistic air to it.  I really love this story and the authors writing style.  I would recommend anyone who loves the films to read the novels as well because this provides a completely new insight to the Corleones.
