The movie was almost always much, much better than the novel.

Pretty much the only notable exceptions were the Luca character, & a few plot details which were clearer in the book.

Coppola is much more skilled as a film director than Puzo is as a novelist. The books reads like a very padded Life magazine article, great on detail but not so hot on anything else.
