This novel is a masterpiece in its true sense of the word by all means. The writer Mario Puzo has indeed been brilliant in
so deftly plotting the journey of an ordinary street man into the dark alleys of crime; the Godfather. The slow and subtle details that go into turning the psyche of this man seem to have an intoxicating effect on the minds of the readers, who are almost enamored into sympathizing the actions of this vigilant and highly
deliberate individual, who gradually and almost painstakingly picks up people, places and the right time and instant to plan his next move.
