Best sequel ever made
Take what you know know about sequels and throw it away. A rareity happens in this film when the second movie is better than it's orginal and that is hard to do when the first movie is one of the best movies ever.

The continuation of the Corleone family out in vegas trying to set their family up for ever. We also get a glimpse of the life of Vito Corleone when he first came to this country. The tie ins of these two stories make this one of the most studied sequels of all time. We see the now older Michael as head of the family and the young Vito getting his feet together. It is kind of like watching MIchael follow in Vito's steps the whole way through. Of course there is tradgey with family involved especially in betrayal and the loss of close friends. A must see


They do make a third to close out the story but eh

Book Rating
A complete change of direction in this book with not one mention of the Ingalls and their plight in the Wild West to that of the Wilders in New York and little Almanzo Wilder; desperate to be seen as old enough to break colts and be like his father.

Despite finding it difficult to get into initially, mostly due to the sudden change in family situations and characters which disrupts flow, the book is actually my favourite one so far and I can fully understand what a young Laura Ingalls would have seen in the charming and clever Almanzo Wilder! He's a character that is a lovable rouge, you feel his trepidation at having blacked the wall in the parlour and his joy at getting his own colt to break.

The book doesn't progress the story of Laura, who is the heroine of the series, however it does give us a snippet into the life of her future family in law in the same loving, simplistic style of writing which truly endears the characters to the reader in a most natural fashion.

A good read, full of an accurate snippet into the life of a big farm and it's family at work. The focus on boys life is a pleasant change and the village life we see is most enjoyable to read and wonderful to learn about. A definite recommend to young and old alike.
