Reviewer Boop07 praises Mario Puzo's The Godfather for bringing characters and historical periods vividly to life. The review compares book and films, notes omitted chapters and different scene treatments, and finds both novel and films "perfect." It remarks on how readers picture actors in the book's character descriptions.

For:Readers interested in crime/mafia fiction and film adaptations.

 More than half of the 32 chapters of The Godfather, a novel written by Mario Puzo (an American of Italian descent), were used by Francis Ford Coppola to create almost two films of the trilogy that so many know.
