Mario Puzo

I recently used an Audible promo to download The Godfather by Mario Puzo, which I had never read. I am surprised at how closely Coppola followed the book, I was expecting a lot of difference. Then again, Puzo collaborated fully on the screenplay. Joe Montagna narrates.

@DemondW01 When does Sanford & Son show up? All In The Family is beyond the pale these days, you'll never see it on there, thus missing the whole point of satire. Norman Lear, arch-liberal, wasn't afraid to satirize all sides.
