The Godfather

I haven't read the book but I have definitely seen the film and I absolutely loved it! I liked the role that Al Pacino played, he was very good in that movie. I know that the mafia is quite a bad thing but in the movie I loved the way the whole family supported eachother. Andrew

I read Godfather when I was in college. The novel is more interesting than the movie though Al Pacino played Michael[I hope I am not wrong in naming the actor] very well. The novel's racy descriptions trigger your imaginations so well that often the movie doesn't measure up.As exception the novels by Alistair Mclean when picturised came out as well.Examples: Where Eagles Dare and Guna of Navarone.

I read Mario Puzo's The Godfather like over 2 decades ago when I was still in school and I really loved the book and the movie. It was a great book and an equally great movie too. I love Al Pacino and Marlon Brando. They are such great actors. One equally compelling novel that I would recommend for reading is Leon Uris' Exodus about the struggles of the Jews to establish a country of their own. It's an epic novel not to be missed. And if you like reading stories with a twist ending, try reading Jeffrey Archer's short stories - A Twist In The Tale or A Quiver Full of Arrows. All his stories have unpredictable ending and leave you feeling satisfied with the ending. You know you've read a good book when after reading the final page you feel that you've lost a good friend.

Well i never read the godfather novel. But i do enjoyed watching the trilogy. Which do you think is better, the novel or the movie? Is it the novel have the same story with the movie or not? And do you think should i read the novel if i enjoy the movie, or i should not? Thanks
