The Godfather

Book Cover: The classic cover/movie poster. What need is there for any other version?
Author: Mario Puzo, straight out of Hell’s Kitchen, NY.

Category: American Literature, contemporary literature

Why I Read It: While I’ve always vaguely known that the movie is always presented as Mario Puzo’s The Godfather and not just The Godfather I was really surprised when I saw this book on a shelf. It never clicked with me that there was a novel before the movie. So I picked it up.

Reading Time Period: August 6, 2010-August 13, 2010.

Book Printing and Condition: Printed in 1983 by Signet. Whoever had this book originally bought it from Wal-Mart, probably recently, before handing it off. I’m not even sure this other person read it, it’s in such good condition. It looks like it’s right off the shelf.

Where I bought it: The Salvation Army in Cheyenne, WY, for fifty cents.
