Publisher's Summary:
"The bloody victory of the Corleone Family was not complete," begins the final chapter of Mario Puzo's The Godfather, "until a year of delicate manoeuvring established Michael Corleone as the most powerful Family chief in the United States." The Godfather: The Lost Years takes place in the years 1955-65, but it is built upon the story of that "year of delicate political manoeuvring" and how, in winning the battle of that year, Michael Corleone set the stage to lose the war: the war to make the Family legitimate, the war to keep the Corleones supremely in power, the war to stay true to his father's wishes, the war to give not just his Family but his family a safe and happy life. The Godfather: The Lost Years is not just a sequel. A magnificent novel in its own right, by an acclaimed young American novelist, it traces the nexus of ambitious, audacious decisions that Michael Corleone implements, their ultimate failure, and, after the Family's literal and figurative years in the wilderness (of Las Vegas), Michael's literal, physical return to New York, and his attempts to regain control there.

interesting the way it ties things together
This is an interesting addition to the series and made me stop to think about everything I know about the Godfather series. I wouldn't say that it is exactly what I expected, but in a lot of ways that was a good thing. There is a lot of backstory and info in this novel and I liked the way it explained gaps in the stories. If you are a die hard fan of the original books, you may shake your head a few times, but it was better than I expected it to be. I'm glad I read it.
The Godfather Returns
Another very good book. I'm happy to continue reading about the Corleone family.
This effort at a sequel quickly got tedious, without the style of the original
This effort at a sequel quickly got tedious, without the style of the original, and I stopped reading 2/3s through
Five Stars
It's great
Four Stars
Sometimes a bit tedious but overall a very good read.
Looking forward to The Godfathers Revenge
