A review by ntombizakhona
The Godfather by Mario Puzo

5.0

The author made Sicily sound so beautiful and picturesque, I want to go there!

Anyways.
Good story, uhm, if you are a man, it might encourage you to prioritize your family and infantilize your wife in the process because both the wife of Michael Corleone and the wife of Don Vito Corleone, uh, all they did was:
Cook.
Clean.
Breed.
Pray.
Never Question Their Husbands about the 'Business(es)'.
I mean, if he is providing efficiently, what more can a woman do though?

Anyways, this book will encourage you to see the economic & overall value of honest, loyal friends & family, business strategy (if we could call Mafia dealings 'business'), risk taking, planning ahead, and thinking long term.

Most importantly, it was an entertaining book.
I will definitely read it again.
I hear the movie is just as good... so, I will watch it one day.

I wish Michael Corleone could have spent more time with Apollonia, she seemed sweet.
