So one day I said, what if his other stuff is just as good? And so the journey began. I'm a slow reader. The thing is, that this book was so well written, I read it in three days, a personal record. I hope the rest of humanity sees this review and reads his other work. Sometimes what you think is someone's best work turns out to be good but not as good as the rest. This is a case of that. Review: Pay attention - I give this four stars because I'm not done with it yet...five might be on its way. I always considered The Godfather to really be about family, not even famiglia necessarily, just family. Puzo's writing examined the characters' relationships much more than it did to explain things they did or experienced. Winegardner's writing focuses much much more on the details of certain events that Puzo only alluded to. His writing seems almost authoritative in his exploration of well known characters. It's kind of like being told all your family secrets you knew existed but were glossed over. In some ways, somewhat because of some lack of drama and trying to fit the story in with existing ones, the book kind of feels like it's an addendum rather than its own novel. For those scared off by the caffones who suggest no one should ever read this book without wearing concrete shoes, let them sleep at the bottom of the ocean. For those that have read the book, I'd encourage you to read this as well. However, if you've only seen the movies, pick up the first book and read it a few times, then read this to fill in some of the wholes. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #333,810 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #269 in Cultural Heritage Fiction #1,235 in Organized Crime Thrillers #1,504 in Family Saga Fiction | | Book 1 of 2 | The Godfather Returns | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (901) | | Dimensions | 4.21 x 1.14 x 6.78 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 0345478983 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0345478986 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 560 pages | | Publication date | August 30, 2005 | | Publisher | Ballantine Books | ## Images ![The Godfather Returns: A Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51KN1fwVTjL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ First of Mario's Books: Made me want to read the rest. *by M***R on September 9, 2023* Like the majority of the human race, I loved the Godfather. So one day I said, what if his other stuff is just as good? And so the journey began. I'm a slow reader. The thing is, that this book was so well written, I read it in three days, a personal record. I hope the rest of humanity sees this review and reads his other work. Sometimes what you think is someone's best work turns out to be good but not as good as the rest. This is a case of that. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pay attention *by A***O on November 21, 2004* I give this four stars because I'm not done with it yet...five might be on its way. I always considered The Godfather to really be about family, not even famiglia necessarily, just family. Puzo's writing examined the characters' relationships much more than it did to explain things they did or experienced.

Lots of intricate planning of betrayals and covering up the traces. A lot more on Tom Hagen, who is one of my favorite characters and gets shorter shrift in the series (not in Film 3 because Robert Duvall asked for more pay and was paid back with the "oh yeah? well, you're dead and you get no backstory" for his temerity.) Nick Geraci is a key figure and well drawn. Son of a low level mob driver in the Cleveland organization, he combines massive physical strength, boxing prowess, and a high degree of smarts with survivor skills. Fun to follow him. The novel is long. Which suits me. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Godfather Returns: A Novel - The Family Corleone - The Godfather's Revenge --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/5677590-the-godfather-returns-a-novel](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/5677590-the-godfather-returns-a-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
