Book About the Corleone Family
 
I need some help. A new book went on the shelves this past spring, expanding on Mario Puzo's The Godfather A different author wrote a prelude to the saga, highlighting Sonny's rise in the family. I can't remember the Title or Authors name. Please help.

The Family Corleone by Falco. I just finished it. It's okay, not great... Not bad.

Thanks a lot. For the life of me, I couldn't remember the title.

Great movies.

They can't be topped, that's for sure.

We re watch them at least once a year.....own all of them.

The scenes in Little Italy where he's a new immigrant living in the tenement bring home the difficult lifestyle of my dad's parents who were also living there circa 1890 to 1915 and beyond.

The feasts, etc. the pushcarts, etc. all bring back memories of stories I was told.

We used to have an Italian feast every year. I was sad to see they went away.

Great times and food.

BTW - I've seen the Godfather movies so many times, I can fall asleep and wake-up and know where the story line is. :smiley:
