More than thirty years ago, a classic was born. A searing novel of the Mafia underworld, The Godfather introduced readers to the first family of American crime fiction, the Corleones-and became the definitive novel of the virile, violent subculture that remains steeped in intrigue, in controversy, and in our collective consciousness.

This book has achieved cult status for a reason. It is a lesson in Loyalty – Family always comes First, right or wrong. It also teaches qualities for leadership – Modesty, Loyalty, Principles, Values, Persistence and the most important of all – Ability to Reason-“I’ll make him an offer he can’t refuse.” it grips you till the end, and boy, it has a hard grip. You’ll emerge battered and bruised in the end, as if you’ve fought along with the Corleones. If not that, it makes you double check your moral compass, because here, the protagonist is a wanted, ruthless and notorious criminal and yet, you’ll end up rooting for him. That’s for sure. The Godfather is a serious read, entirely devoid of humour, dark or light, but tell you what, it doesn’t need it. The novelty of it is in details, the author has taken great pains in describing the violence permeating through the book- each kill, each gunshot, each blood pattern – It certainly is not for the weak hearted! And not just violence! In depth, saucy, yet dignified detailed sex! What more can one ask for? Values, loyalty, violence and hard sex- all in one package. A must read for everyone!
