Reviews

Rousing legacy filler. Tracing the rise of Vito Corleone’s New York crime family, it won’t disappoint fans.
*Shortlist*

Falco ably exploits the tension between civility and brutality. The result is good, messy fun.
*Guardian*

[C]hannels the original so well that readers will be vividly reminded of Puzo’s strengths . . . His moments of blam-blam-blam are ace. Best of all, he supplies a grand set-piece finale--a parade-that will leave readers dreaming of just one more movie.
*Booklist*

Falco’s depiction of Vito Corleone captures both the cool reserve of young Vito and the insight he demonstrates as Don. A worthy addition to the lurid world of the Five Families.
*Kirkus*

Falco’s solid Godfather prequel fills in the backstory of the iconic New York City Mafia family . . . Puzo fans will find this a refreshing change from the inferior sequels.
*Publisher's Weekly*
