The book is great but I would have been ok with fewer pages about Sonny's massive dong.



As with all art, it's really a matter of perception. Were you reading 70 pages about Sonny's dong, or 70 pages about Lucy's massive gaping wizard sleeve?

Lucy's massive gaping wizard sleeve?
The reason that section of the book exists is b/c Puzo was determined to create a bestseller, and he was convinced a bestseller had to have a female interest. So he wrote about Lucy Mancini and her hooha (and her gynecologist -- don't forget he's a major figure in the novel), rather than give the perspectives/backstories of Connie and/or Kay.



IIRC he plays on Van Morrison's Astral Weeks
