Puzo's novel brings to life the Corleone family, headed by its aging patriarch, Don Vito Corleone. In post-World War II New York, Corleone faces a changing world, but he is still plagued by the relentless "turf wars" with the other major families. Intense pressure is brought to introduce narcotics to the list of "services" provided by his family--pressure that Corleone emphatically resists, to the bleak detriment of first himself, and to those he loves. The subsequent development of the story--of the Corleone's strategy, of the emergence of one of the Godfather's sons to perpetuate the family's power and considerable clout--is spellbinding.

"All his life, people had tried to kill him. They had failed. In the end, Don Vito Corleone died a natural death, playing with his grandson in his Garden on a paceful Sunday morning."
Não tenho mais o que dizer. O livro conta a história de famílias italianas (mafiosas) que viviam nos Estados Unidos. Fala principalmente sobre a família dos Corleone, os perigos e inimigos que enfrentam, a relação e os negócios da família. Repleta de ação, mortes e suspense, fazendo com que você queira virar a página a cada segundo.
