In most cases a book is better than a movie based on it- but the there are exceptions, and the 'Godfather' is one of them. In this case it is not that the book is bad- it is actually quite enjoyable- but 'The Godfather' is simply one of the greatest movies ever made.
The movie is very true to the plot of the book, but I was also struck by how much dialogue in the movie is straight out of the book. That is the real strength of the book: the dialogue. The other facets of Puzo's writing are not as strong. The story loses focus and momentum with the Johnny Fontane subplot, but overall is a good read.Get more detail about The Godfather.
