El Padrino, El regreso

This dazzling sequel to the original Godfather continues the story, focusing on the years not covered in Puzo's books or in Coppola's films. Winegardner reprises all the familiar characters and also introduces a few new members, including cameo apperances by JFK, RFK, and Andy Warhol. But at the center of the mob action is of course Michael Corleone, the heir of Vito Corleone. "A wholly absorbing novel that's beautifully written with great skill and passion. 'Godfather' fans will love this tale; Puzo himself mist be raising a celestial glass and shouting a hearty 'Salut'" (Publishers Weekly)
