Summary
50th ANNIVERSARY EDITION—WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA

Mario Puzo’s classic saga of an American crime family that became a global phenomenon—nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read.

With its brilliant and brutal portrayal of the Corleone family, The Godfather burned its way into our national consciousness. This unforgettable saga of crime and corruption, passion and loyalty continues to stand the test of time, as the definitive novel of the Mafia underworld.

A #1 New York Times bestseller in 1969, Mario Puzo’s epic was turned into the incomparable film of the same name, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture. It is the original classic that has been often imitated, but never matched. A tale of family and society, law and order, obedience and rebellion, it reveals the dark passions of human nature played out against a backdrop of the American dream.

With a Note from Anthony Puzo and an Afterword by Robert J. Thompson

Absolutely fabulous novel, a true classic, brought to life by Joe Mantegna. This audiobook is a masterpiece and will change the way you watch The Godfather films if you haven't already read it. Stunningly good, 11/10.

About 60% of this book is excellent. The other 40% is antiquated, plot irrelevant, garbage. The editors of this book should be court-martialed.

Classic. The Godfather series are my favorite movies of all time, listening to the book was a great experience. offered insight into what all the characters were thinking and more background information. Recommend for anyone that enjoyed the movies. narrator was ok, could have been better (was hoping that the man that narrated The Family Corleone would narrate this also).
