‘The Godfather’ is a novel about a Sicilian mafia family, led by Don Vito Corleone and based in New York City. The story mainly revolves around the life of Michael and Sonny Corleone as they fight to keep their father’s empire alive. It tells of the challenges and struggles the family goes through to protect the Don and become the dominant crime family of New York. ‘The Godfather’ is an exciting, action-packed book with crime and mafia based themes.

My favourite part of ‘The Godfather’ is the chapter where Michael meets the Turk Sollozzo and corrupt policeman Captain Mcluskey in a small Italian restaurant in the Bronx and pulls the trigger on them both. Then he makes a daring escape to Sicily by boat. If I was to give the book an alternative title, it would be ‘The Corleone Commitment’. http://www.mariopuzo.com/ Greg, Year 9
