Michael Corleone's exile in Sicily is ending, but on the instructions of his father, The Godfather, he must bring back to him the young man known as Salvatore Giuliano - if he can find him. At sea amid the treacheries of a brutal and unfamiliar land, Michael must find a way through the labyrinthine deceits that surround him, while Giuliano prepares himself for a final confrontation with Don Croce, Capo di Capi of the Sicilian Mafia. A novel of explosive suspense, heroic action - and evil on an epic scale. In the hands of Mario Puzo's brilliantly sinister talent, the reader comes to know again the terrible magic of the Mafia.

... that I have reached the end of this book. Having read The Godfather just prior to this I expected more of the story of Michael Corleone in Sicily.
Initially I was disappointed to see this really wasn't going to be the case, but what a fantastic read this is - so much better than The Godfather!
I can truly say this is a book where I feel I know the characters and what they are thinking, which is perhaps why it is so shocking. The story in this book is fantastic, the word-pictures of the scenery stunningly beautiful and the brutaility of bandit life stark - no punches held.
The Sicilian is utterly absorbing, taking you on a 7 year journey that seems to be over all too quickly; I was stunned by the ending - infact, I'm still shocked, but this is a book I will read again.
Without doubt this is the best book I have read in the last few years.

Format:Paperback
Based on actual events of a Sicilian bandit- Salvatore Guiliano who in the early fourties led a resistance to the Roman Government and even the Mafioso. How accurate Puzo is with the facts of the legendary story requires research but none the less this book is an excellent read. The book is certainly not a sequel to the Godfather as the Corleone empire features very briefly. It is a puzzle that Guiliano is not more well known as he led a crusade very similar to Che Guevara. I cannot recommend this book enough, one of Puzo's best!

Format:Paperback
A typical, and classic, Puzo creation, based on a historical character. He mixes his favourite literate ingredients of love, friendship, honour and betrayal to create a Robin Hood esc tale giving a great incite into the history and culture of the isle of Sicily. A must for any Puzo fan, just don't watch the crummy film, it will ruin your enjoyment.

This isn't a sequel to the Godfather - it's a rambling tale that only includes a couple of the characters from that book and doesn't continue the story at all. Read more
