Publisher Description
Michael Corleone is returning to the U.S. after the two-year exile to Sicily in which listeners left him in
The Godfather. But he is ordered to bring with him the young Sicilian bandit, Salvatore Guiliano, who is the unofficial ruler of northwestern Sicily. In his fight "to make Sicilians free people", the young folk hero, based on the real-life Giuliano of the 1940s, has made both the police and the Mafia his enemies. So when Don Croce Malo, chief of the Sicilian Mafia, and the policemen who has been tracking Guiliano each offer to help Corleone find the elusive Robin Hood, betrayal seems inevitable.
Mario Puzo has created a sequel to
The Godfather that is every bit as compelling and dramatic. But
The Sicilian is a distinct literary achievement in its historical inspiration and its vivid portrait of Sicilian peasant life.
Customer Reviews
Good but not as good
The Godfather is one of my favorite books but in this second book has so much disappointment.
Surprisingly terrible
If you take a shot each time the words “pezonovante”, “lupara”, and “caribinieri” were used you’d black out 5 minutes in. Which would be preferable to listening to this terrible narration. I’m surprised that the author of The Godfather wrote something so terrible.
