书籍介绍
Tyrant, blackmailer, racketeer, murderer – his influence reaches every level of American society. Meet Don Corleone, a friendly man, a just man, a reasonable man. The deadliest lord of the Cosa Nostra. The Godfather. A modern masterpiece, The Godfather is a searing portrayal of the 1940s criminal underworld. It is also the intimate story of the Corleone family, at once drawn together and ripped apart by its unique position at the core of the American Mafia. Still shocking forty years after it was first published, this compelling tale of blackmail, murder and family values is a true classic.

Finally I did it ! The first English novel I have ever read.595 pages in total, such a huge book!But it's much better than the movie .In the book you can found more details.Worth reading.
堪称经典语录无需说，这次谈一点阅读感受。作者往往用大篇幅的描写塑造人物各个立面，而通过对话来突出人物性格这一点有些欠缺，使得阅读画面感不强，我往往边读边想起电影里的画面来补充。还可再读。
难以置信，我竟然看完了这本英文小说，两个月的时间，从一开始咬牙坚持，到最后如痴如醉。掩卷叹息下，每个人都有自己的命运，还有"Life is so beautiful!" 四星献给小说，看完小说更容易理解电影中的每个人物，但是很多地方没有电影拍的妙。一星献给自己的坚持。
看过那么多很黄很暴力的情节，最后，Don仅有一句遗言：Lifie is so beautiful. 整个人瞬间relieve，泪流满面。三个月终于完成第一本原版书的阅读~Yay！
英国Arrow Books2009年出版的版本，比中国引进的版本多了很多限制级的内容。支线情节太多，有些没有意义。但是作为对电影的补充还是不错的。
没有人生来伟大，诚哉斯言。当然，真的也只有二流的小说才可以改编成伟大的电影。
性格决定命运，命运决定了来路和去向。
没传言的那么好，但也是一本优秀的文学作品，语言很酷。
男人的加油站…
