5.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed...., 12 Jan 2006
By M. Williams "markawmaw" (Somerset, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
... 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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sequel?, 9 May 2001
By geezasid@aol.com (Wolverhampton, England) - See all my reviews
The sequel to the better known novel 'the godfather' can be somewhat disappointing to somebody expecting the same relationship as the two films. In reality this second book drops the story begun previously and begins on a totally different plot. I can't help thinking that 'the Sicilian' was a story Puzo was going to write, and decided to introduce the Corleones to boost popularity. Viewed on it's own merits however it is still an excellent read. Puzo's storytelling ability is as good as ever and the storyline itself is intriguing and involving. It's exciting to see Corleone in a new environment and meet yet another hero of the same quality as Vito himself in Guiliano. Another side to the world of the mafia, especially interesting if you haven't learnt of the Sicilian people in any other media.

4.0 out of 5 stars The sicilian is an inspired work by Mario Puzo, 25 April 2001
By A Customer
The Sicilian is a great book that continues the legacy of the Godfather at a new pace, mario Puzo's vivid discription of sicily makes you want to jump on a plane and fly there, also his character descriptions are engrossing and seductive. This is definetely a must read for anyone whose read the godfather, and if you havent read it then read this!
