Is 'The Godfather' a softcore porno the entire book?

I haven't read it in years, but I believe you'll find out about a cavernous vagina later on.

No but it was genius not to include that side plot in the movie. It was dumb and added nothing to the story.

One of the few times the movie was much, much better than the novel. I found the novel to be nothing special. I think the best line in the book was the very last one.

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.

Yes. That what I meant. The entire move was better than the novel. But it’s one of the few movies that were that much better than the source novel.

I like the book. The inner dialogue and explanations of what people thought about the various families during the sit down was good. I also liked the opening with the rapists getting beaten, Sonny throwing the con men out of Long Island, and the explanation of how the business had come to be and how the two regimes were split. Plus Kay was more likable, even if her pov chapters were boring.

As with most books vs. movie, it’s different. They detail the ex cop much more in the book. The book is essentially GF 1 and 2 combined.
