The Dino De Laurentiis version of The Godfather

Not really, but it was released the same year so it felt very similar in parts to the Coppola epic, just with a robustly smaller budget.

Bronson does a great job in his portrayal of Joseph Valachi, a mafia driver turned stool pigeon. He is intense and vulnerable at the same time.

Unfortunately, having been released in 1972, it would have no chance of finding an audience, but watching it now I found it to be very entertaining.

fantastic short read

This is the first book in this set but the sixth book in this series. This is a mafia story. This is a quick, hot and steamy, easy to read book which you will read in one sitting. This book has a cliffhanger ending so be warned, you will need part two as soon as you've finished this book. Amazing well written characters. I can't wait to read part two in this set.

Highly recommended short read

I think this is my fourth book by the author and i know she writes some crazy things but i really struggled with this. I didn't get her justification behind the killing of the mafia guy at the beginning. Why not just hit him over the head with something hard and heavy? Why go hunt out the gun hidden in the apartment?

Oh, well. DNF @ 26%

I felt nothing for the characters or the storyline just because i didnt understand her reasoning behind the above incident.

Not for me.
