Review # 1 was written on 2016-06-26 00:00:00 Ken Lau The Godfather Returns (The Godfather Returns #1), Mark Winegardner The Godfather Returns is a novel written by author Mark Winegardner, published in 2004. It is the sequel to Mario Puzo's The Godfather, which was originally published in 1969, and The Sicilian (1984). The publisher, Random House, selected Winegardner to write a sequel after Puzo's death. As the original novel covered the years 1945 to 1955, and included significant back story on Don Vito Corleone's life, Returns covers the years 1955 to 1962, and includes significant back story on Michael Corleone's life prior to the first novel. تاریخ خوانش: پنجم ماه دیامبر سال 2016 میلادی عنوان: بازگشت پدرخوانده: نویسنده: مارک وينيگاردنر؛ ا. شربیانی

Review # 2 was written on 2015-02-27 00:00:00 ROBERT Murray Awful, just awful. The errors in detail (e.g., assigning Michael the wrong university), the inexplicable resurrection of dead characters and the leaving out of pivotal characters, the ham-handed allusions to contemporary events and people, all those were bad. What could make this book worse? The writer's complete lack of familiarity with key characters made them both wooden and a little pathetic. Anyone familiar with Puzo's book or the films will have a hard time recognizing the players they know. Finally, the clumsy attempts at literary flourishes made it nearly unreadable. There are approximately 100 amateurish juxtapositions per chapter, such as "He both did and did not want to" and "he both felt and did not feel," and "she was intrigued and repulsed." Fine. We get it. Conflicting emotions. But page after page of "he loved and hated" gets old fast.
